Turkey
Democratic Republic of the Congo is pretty bad

You realize the bird is named after the country and not the other way round, r-right?
>>77259189
Why?
Vietnam
China
Turkey
Thailand
Finland
>>77259213
because Zaire sounds much better
>Iceland
>Greenland
It's just ruse after ruse
United States of
>>77259263
SUMOI
czech republic
>>77259333
I'll czech those numbers for you
>Philippines
an anglicized form of a name derived from a dead spic
Canada
>>77259320
>THE netherlands
>>77259353
The Kingdom of the Netherlands
united states of america
Personally I think:
>Philippines and Bolivia: literally named after people.
>Benin: While Benin City is in Nigeria
>Papua New Guinea: Papua and New Guinea mean the same things. Maybe they should have called it the Papuan Republic.
How is South Africa a bad name? They are literally South Africa.
>>77259411
India is a shit tier name because it's what we call natives here in the United States
>>77259391
lol it is pretty bad.
>>77259436
That's your mistake.
>>77259337
>literally named after people.
Also Colombia and LOS
>literally named after a continent named after a person
>>77259430
Because when someone says South Africa sometimes they don't mean the country but literally the southern portion of Africa
>>77259430
exactly, it's JUST South Africa
>>77259444
You should change it now
Northern Ireland
It doesn't even have the most northern point in Ireland
Eastern Ireland would be a better name, or just Ulster
>>77259464
Note that the official name of the country in Indian languages is Bharat. This has a completely different meaning and origin as "India" does. Similar cases can be found with "Armenia" and "Hayastan" or "Egypt" and "Misr".
Korea is pretty awesome name
simple but it has strong impact
Spain too
Finland is a nice name, I wish Brazil was named Finland
>>77259544
Also Greece and "Ελλάδα"/Hellas
>>77259544
Look at Germany
There's like 100 completely different names for it
any country with the suffix -land
>>77259602
>>77259610
Both are similar to Egypt. The English name is derived from what the Romans called them, while the native name is completely different.
>>77259663
Exactly
>>77259663
>>77259610
>>77259411
Also Kiribati. Literally the local pronunciation of "Gilbert". This is one more level of cuckery.

>>77259663
Finland is called "suomi" or something like that in their language.
>>77259213
Because it isn't democratic at all.
>>77259091
I take mild to no offence at this, jou ma se poes
>>77259091
Pakistan : meaning 'holy land'
South Africa :
Dividing into Afrikaner Republic or Afrikaansland and Zululand would be better.
United States of America :
Since you have to call them Americans while people from other countries of American Continents are American aswell. United Statesvof Columbia or United States of Washingtonia would be better.
Russian Federation :
Since you have to call Turks and Siberians as Russians too despite they are very different from ethnic Russians.
>>77259448
If you don't know the difference between South Africa and Southern Africa then you shouldn't be on an international board
>>77260604
They should just call the whole place "United States of New York"
>>77260604
Impossible, we have upwards of nine official languages and even more cultures. Also racism.
>Czechia
>>77260604
This is very stupid tbqh. Every province of South Africa has between 2 percent to 19 percent White population. It's impossible to divide South Africa into a White part and a Bantu part.
>>77261144
What's your thought on the Afrikaner Republic of Orania. They maintain their independence within the South Africa and their longterm goal is to declare independence from Republic of South Africa.
>>77259737
FROG'D
>>77261830
That's a very small town. There's no way you can make reasonably White-only country out of parts of South Africa. Whites are scattered all over and there is no White majority region that is large enough.
>>77261830
They're doing extremely well, economically at least. They even have their own currency - which you buy when you enter, non refundable. There are a few white-only villages and such, but aside from Orania, they're all backwards and racist as hell.
>>77261867
The Gilbert after whom Kiribati is named was a Brit.
>>77259602
Greece is actually called Hellas in norwegian, though the rest of the north calls you Greekland.
Tbh Australia is a pretty shite name, I cant think of anything better but it bugs me to no end when yanks pronounce Awe-Strae-lee-uhr. The name also only sounds nice with a posh english accent
>>77263329
Rare. Will save.
Spain is a nonsense name since Portugal got out of it
>>77259311
Iceland has a pretty cool name if you look up its origins. The norweigan sailor who first settled there found a fjord full of drift ice and so named it Iceland.
Greenland got its name because the outlaw who discovered it had to trick people to come and settle with him. He said that it was lush and green and full of fertile soil. Greenland.
>>77264144
But the Inuit name of Greenland has a completely different meaning. Kalaallit Nunaat is literally "Land of the Western Greenlandic Inuits".

New Zealand
Makes people wonder where Old Zealand is
>>77264476
it's right here
essentially everything except for Israel
>>77264476
In denmark or smth
>>77264495
that's Zeeland tho
>>77264476
>strayan intellectuals
Australia
United States of America
Republic of South Africa
Central African Republic
United Arab Emirates
Basically everything that's just a stand-in generic descriptor rather than an actual name
