The Official Names of Countries

We refer to the countries of the world by what is called a short name, and these are not their official titles. How many of the official names of countries do you know?

Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states and http://www.fao.org/countryprofiles/iso3list/en/

Note: For some nations, their official title is the same as their short name.
