Heimat

Heimat is warm and personal — the place that feels like home, which doesn't have to line up with any border. Inland is a dry, administrative term: whichever side of the border you're standing on.

Ausland

Its exact opposite: Inland (in "in" + Land) means the home country, domestic territory — everything Ausland is not.
