If you'd like to get all tweets for the past 7 days you could easily do it with standard API with a geocode cursor search for your country (if you specify language would be better). It will take some time as it will wait 15 minutes everytime it reaches the request limit for 15 min window. You could easily get a million tweets if you run it for 3 - 4 days.

If you need tweets more than 7 days ago you will need premium api but I wouldn't recommend it.

First of all, it is extremely expensive and second, it has a monthly limit of requests. (i am not sure how many but I reckon something about 500). Which means it will actually take you longer than waiting for the 15min rate limit every time.

Use the Premium search API :

https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/search/api-reference/premium-search.html

You will be able to search for all tweets since 2006... it may be a lot.

The "query" parameters are listed here : https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/search/overview/premium#AvailableOperators so you can filter by lang or with geospatial operators.
