British North America for Canada (used after the USA gained independence)
Hibernia for Ireland (Roman name, idk if it was ever used locally)
Wa for Japan
Upper Peru for Bolivia
Lusitania for Portugal (again, Roman name and idk if it was ever used locally)
As for Lusitania: I think it has been in use, and could still be. I've read a classical Portuguese epic poem by Camões, and though I read it in translation, I know the original title is Os Lusíadas, and "lusitano" is a word frequently used in it. So I guess you are right.
