Is a country a ship of Theseus?

The ship of Theseus asks, 'If Theseus' ship has every single part of it replaced over time so that nothing of the original material remains, is it still the same ship? If those old parts are reconstructed into a new ship based old design once they had been removed, would that be the Theseus' ship?' 

My question is does that concept apply to a country. The people who founded the country over time perish or emigrate and are replaced by their children and new immigrants.  Can those people still claim to live in the country that their ancestors founded, simply because the structure of that country has not changed, even though the people who compose it have? Similarly if by some miracle, those people somehow came back to life or otherwise returned, and founded a country under the same name with the same rules and, (for arguments sake), the same geography, would that be the true country?

Yeah, the ship of Theseus thought experiment raises more broadly the question of what makes anything the same thing over time. It's about the very idea of identity, so you can ask that question about many things that we think of as having a continuing identity over time.
