After 4 or 3 days, I’ve managed to get them all!

It’s pretty easy on most of them because they have “Republic” at the start of their names. Or “Kingdom”, “Principality”, and “State”.

To quote Wikipedia: "Ireland" is the official name of the country in English. "Republic of Ireland" (the official description in English) and "Éire" (the official name in Irish) have sometimes been used unofficially to distinguish the state from the larger island of Ireland, however, this is officially deprecated.

Tbf, if you know some patterns in these names and you have more than enough time left, you might as well just try out all possible variations. That's how I got Ethiopia and countries like People"s Democratic Republic of Algeria and Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal.
