In EU4YouToolbar, would it b ok if we make Country implement Serializable instead of using a custom implementation of Parcelable?
Are there any specific benefits of Parcelable over Serializable?

If you mean “will it compile and run?”, then yes, Serializable is fine.

Parcelable is faster at runtime, though usually that is not a huge issue nowadays, since we rarely deal with large numbers of these. It was a bigger issue in earlier versions of Android (when reflection was slow) and on older Android devices (where devices were slow).
