Guess the country - Old & New places

New York is in the US, but where is York? For each place, guess the country it belongs to!
The official name in the country's original language is used.
Words like "Nova," "Nouveau," "Niu," "Nya," and "Novaya" mean "new" in English.
Some places no longer exist officially or are now divided into multiple countries. In such cases, naming just one country is sufficient.

New Zealand is named after the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands. Novaya Zemlya literally means New Land, and its etymology has nothing to do with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
