    to cope: to deal with with a certain amount of success. (Webster's)

    to handle: to behave or perform in a particular way (Webster's)

    'She learned to cope with her circumstances quite well despite the surgery.'

    'The soldier handled his being on the front lines like he was born to it.

    You could say 'handle a country', but it almost have a ring of meaning 'to put up with' or 'endure'.

    'Sure, I can handle being in Iraq knowing that I get to go home in 3 months.'

    "I can't handle this country and its strange ways.'

    'I handled the country well for not being able to speak the language.'

    "to cope" ist auch typisches Wort in der Psychologie für Dinge, die zu psychischen Problemen führen könnte (coping/ coping strategies).

    (Stimme aber zu, was die Übersetzung hier angeht.)
