No, official documents refer to the USA as United States of America, Canada is just Canada, Japan is 'the state of Japan' and France is the 'French Republic'.

For example the Ivory coast outlawed the use of translations for its name, so every country uses the French name officially, so in English the official name is: Republic of Côte d'Ivoire

Tell us about the "Hellenic" distinct form of republican government then, since it's a "title" instead of a nationality by your definition

American education isn't a meme. You can't possibly make this shit up.

The proper name of India is "Bharat".

Another noteworthy mention is due to Switzerland or the 'Swiss Confederation as it is referred to.

Fun fact: In German it uses a more precise term than just the Germanized Latin word for confederation.

It literally translates to 'The Swiss Oath-Fellowship' or these are 'Swiss oath fellows/comrades' referring to the legendary oath of the Old Swiss Confederacy, its founding myth.

Nope, many of the official documents have us named as The Dominion of Canada

>Nope, many of the official documents have us named as The Dominion of Canada

So what? The UK still has old laws written in Norman French that are still valid today. This type of legal relict doesn't change the contemporary offical name of your country.

>>77146853
That's my point. Our modern Constitution (1982) uses both The Dominion of Canada and just Canada, as do many modern documents, so technically Canada is officially named both. This isn't some archaic document referring to British North America, it's our constitution.

is it Czech Republic or Czechia?

>>77144960
In portuguese Portugal is translated to '' Lusitánia''

>>77144960
Most countries are like that

>>77146957
Czechia sounds third world and doesn't have any historic basis. Every European nation refers to them as some variation of it besides themselves and us though.

>Australia is actually: the 'Commonwealth of Australia'
But New Zealand ist just 'New Zealand'.
That's because Australia was formed by the federation of most of the separately governed English colonies in the region, hence "Commonwealth". New Zealand were one of those colonies and are even named as a state of the Commonwealth in our Constitution but refused to federate because the Maori would be grouped with Aboriginals under the constitution despite being far more integrated into society (no right to vote etc). New Zealand instead just dropped the colony title when they became a dominion six years later.
A fun fact is that Fiji was also part of the early stages of federation negotiation

Some old people still say 'Bohemia(and Moravia)' here.

>>77144960
Reino de España

>>77147573
Bohemia and Moravia is the patrician way of referring to them, it's a shame if you're not old you can't get away with it without sounding autistic.

>>77147573
I still call them "Slav Krauts."

>>77144960
Ireland is just Ireland, not the The Republic of Ireland and not Southern Ireland. The name of the country is Ireland.

>>77147685
>It's true.

I here I was thinking the 'Republic Of' was a statement against the monarchy but I guess making this choice underlines the claim to the whole island of Ireland.

If your country doesn't have republic and démocratic in his name it's a shithole

>>77147956
>People's Republic
