Its not uncommon in my experience as a native speaker. I feel like the context of gratis is more transactional than the context of free; eg. "Its a free country" makes more sense than "Its a gratis country".

Yeah, "gratis" literaly means "free of charge". If you ever see a "gratis country" let me know (;

Because that's not how gratis is used. In analogy to "persona non grata", that would be "America is an acceptable country". It may be gratuitous or gracious, however.
