interestingly enough this is not a thing at all in Spanish nor Catalan. all countries have their own name not referencing it being a "land"

(...except for Greenland)

@kitten Huh interesting, meanwhile for french:
- Islande (who's the annoying troll who spelt that name, making it close to english "Island")
- Irlande
- Angleterre (roughly meaning anglos-land)
- Finlande
- Pays-Bas (pays being country, bas being low)
- Pologne
- Suisse
