Try this

    public static testMethod void testTrigger()
    {
        Area__c ar = new Area__c(Name = 'CA');
    insert ar;

    Case caseObj = new Case(CountryWebFormText__c ='CA', Newsletter__c = TRUE);
    insert caseObj;
    System.debug(caseObj);
    caseObj=[Select id,countryWebFormText__c,Country_of_Origin__r.name from Case where id=:caseObj.id limit 1];

    System.assertEquals(caseObj.CountryWebFormText__c, caseObj.Country_of_Origin__r.name);

    }

From what we know is Country_of_Origin__C is a lookup field of type Area__C .  caseObj.Country_of_Origin__c will only contain the ID of Area__C record, while what you want is the name of Area__C record. So to get the Name you have to query it as Country_of_Origin__R.name  get the name of inserted Area.

As commented , seeAllData as true is generally not recommended.
