وطن is similar in meaning to 'father/mother/homeland'. It emphasises the nationalistic aspect of belonging to a certain place.
ارض means 'earth' or 'land' in general.
بلد, which is feminine even though it ends in a daal by the way, can indeed refer to both a town/city and a country, but in MSA, it is more common to use it to refer to the former.
That said, the most common word for 'country' in MSA is دَولَه.
