landscape means the physical/visible parts of an area, while scenery is probably used more often when you're talking the appearance of a place eg. landscape - "the landscape changed when the town was built" compared to scenery - "the tourists enjoyed the scenery".
countryside and nature are very different; the countryside is a place (that can have lots of nature 😉) while nature has more meanings eg. a place away from humans "in nature"
--> the countryside makes me think of farms and villages while nature makes me think of animals and forests, to put it simply 😊

Thanks for the explanations.
What would you say when you're living in a very remote place and want to emphasize that there's nothing, apart from nature?

the one word that i first think of is secluded - especially if you want to emphasise that the place you're living isn't visited or seen by other people very much. There's more colloquial ways of expressing this - backwater (ie. a backwater town - rarely used for a singular house), hinterland, backwoods etc. or more literally "the back of nowhere", "on the outskirts of society" - if the nature you're living in is farmland, then you could say your location/landscape is bucolic (focus on lifestyle - think farming, horses, villages etc. - though bucolic isn't used in everyday language much - its a more poetic word)

Very helpful, thanks. Can you say "He lives in accordance with nature? Or how would you express that?

I really like that!! It sort of seems to connotate that he is living alongside nature, or by its laws :)

Yes, that's what I mean, it just sounded wrong to me.
Thanks for your help, I think I really learnt a lot.
