Well, what else is it? If the Russian Empire is technically Russia, how come the Ottoman Empire isn't Turkey?

I personally thought that Ghana was the tricky one because the Ghana Empire did not encompass any of present-day Ghana

African country names are historically inaccurate, like Ghana. Benin was also partly in Nigeria (there's a Benin City in Nigeria) and Mauritania was named after the historical region of Mauretania, which is on the Mediterranean.

Yeah, it's possible that that area and some other parts of West Africa, such as present-day Ghana, were once generally called "Ghana", and after decolonization, British Gold Coast chose to call itself Ghana after its heritage.
