Get table multiple relations - laravel

Question

I have the following eloquent call:
\App\Models\AwardRecommendation::with('entities', 'countries')->get();
When I ask for with 'countries' is because the 'entities' table has the country_id and not the 'awards' table.
The models I have are: AwardRecommendation, Entity, ErnySans\Laraworld\Models\Countries
What I'm trying to do is to get the country data in the query but in the return response I just get:
0 => array:27 [▼
"id" => 1
"guid" => "268f1080-67f3-48e5-844d-96b8c09c339b"

"title" => "Example Title"
"slug" => "example-title"

"pivot" => array:1 [▼
"entity_id" => 1
]
]
]
"countries" => null
How can I get this done with Laravel Eloquent?
Thanks in advance for any help

You need to define the relationship in the Entity model first:
public function country()
{
return $this->belongsTo(ErnySans\Laraworld\Models\Countries::class);
}
And make sure ErnySans\Laraworld\Models\Countries is the correct full class name for Countries model.
Then load award recommendations with related entities and with each entity's country:
AwardRecommendation::with('entities.country')->get();
