ember hasMany and plurals

Lost.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('countries',{path: '/'}, function(){
     this.resource('country',{path: ':country_id'},function(){
      this.resource('city',{path: ':city_id'});
    });
  });
});

My country model is 

  Lost.Country = DS.Model.extend({
      countryCode: DS.attr('string'),
      countryName: DS.attr('string'),
      places: DS.hasMany('place')
    });

and my place model is 

Lost.Place = DS.Model.extend({
  cityName: DS.attr('string'),  
  country: DS.belongsTo('country')
});

In country model when I change places to place this work fine but when i keep it as places I get error

TypeError: Cannot set property 'store' of undefined

UPDATED

The object returned from rails server

Acual JSON: 

{
   "countries":[
      {
         "id":1,
         "countryCode":"BH",
         "countryName":"Bhutan",
         "places":[
            {
               "id":1,
               "country_id":1,
               "cityName":"Daga"
            },
            {
               "id":2,
               "country_id":1,
               "cityName":"Ha"
            }
         ]
      }
   ]
}

Here is how my rails serializers looks

application_serializer.rb

class ApplicationSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
  embed :ids, :include => true
end

country_serializer.rb

class CountrySerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
  attributes :id, :countryCode, :countryName
  has_many :places
end

place_serializer

class PlaceSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer
  attributes :id, :country_id, :cityName
  #belongs_to :country #commented out because gives error"undefine method belongs_to"
                       #if i change it to has_one gives error"stack level too deep"
end

* *Additon to anwer ** this question has been answered by @kingpin2k as a part of answer if you are new developer like me instead of writing your own normalizeAttribute function I think it will be better to use already exsisting normalizeAtrribute function in DS.RESTAdapter present in ember-data. less error prone. Just copy pasting it worked for me

Ember Data : 1.0.0-beta.6

Lost.Place = DS.Model.extend({
  cityName: DS.attr('string'),  
  country: DS.belongsTo('Country')
});

should be (lower case country)

Lost.Place = DS.Model.extend({
  cityName: DS.attr('string'),  
  country: DS.belongsTo('country')
});

and I can't tell from your question, but the json should be an array of ids for place.

If you're using the ActiveModelSerializer then you can set the embedded to always, which is how you're trying to return it. You're data is causing some hiccups, in that it sees countryCode as country_code, but you can override some functions to fix up this validation, or you can fix up your json to match the expected data.

App.ApplicationAdapter= DS.ActiveModelAdapter;

App.ApplicationSerializer = DS.ActiveModelSerializer.extend(DS.EmbeddedRecordsMixin, {
  attrs: {
    places: {embedded: 'always'}
  },
  normalizeAttributes: function(type, hash) {
   //your attributes shouldn't be normalized
  }
});

Lost.Country = DS.Model.extend({
  countryCode: DS.attr('string'),
  countryName: DS.attr('string'),
  places: DS.hasMany('place')
});
