I think this is working as intended,
you need to do it this way:

$germany = new Tx_MyExt_Domain_Model_Nation();
$president = $oldGermany->getPresident(); // should maybe return a clone
$president->setNation($germany);
$germany->setPresident($president);
$this->nationRepository->add($germany);

Althouh I'm not sure, but give it a try.
