"Land" Countries

Can you name the 7 countries whose common English name ends in the letters "land"?
Doesn't include countries that end in "lands"
Sovereign nations only, so Scotland and Greenland don't count
As of February 2019, we now use the name "Eswatini" instead of "Swaziland"

Jun 15, 2019
Yes. Isn't it amusing that "eSwatini" and "North Macedonia" are immediately adopted as the proper country names by Jetpunk yet it refuses to recognize "Cote d'Ivoire" and "Cabo Verde" as the proper names of those countries?
+2
Level 70
Jun 24, 2019
The idea that the names were immediately adopted is false. Jetpunk took 10 months to recognise Eswatini, not exactly sure about North Macedonia but I don't think it was instant either. "Cote d'Ivoire" used to be the name given to the Ivory Coast by Jetpunk, and I think it was changed because it would set a precedent that any other country stating that its name was the same in all languages would have to be followed, regardless of whether anyone used the name when speaking English.
+2
Level 84
Jun 24, 2019
It's a similar situation for both Ivory Coast and Cape Verde - their delegations to the UN have stated that they don't want the name translated into any other languages. Many, apparently including Jetpunk, have been slow to welcome the idea. It's worth noting that Jetpunk has accepted both versions of both names, as valid responses, for as long as I've been using the site.

+3
Level 83
Mar 13, 2019
I think in one case they are changing the official name of the country. In the other case the name has stayed the same, but they are telling everyone that they prefer you start speaking a different language when you say that name. That seems different to me. If we're going to start using Cote d'ivoire for Ivory Coast then we might as well start using Deutschland for Germany.

Great Britain and northern Ireland don't count because UK is its real name and it doesn't end with land

Holland is Netherlands, I suppose Netherlands should be here but it has "lands" instead of "land", same with the Marshall Islands and the Solomon Islands but they also have "lands" instead of "land". Holland is also the informal name for Netherlands anyway.
