"United States" in French (États-Unis) would have made a very confusing acronym

Lemmy

I am forever annoyed that every language has the audacity to rename other countries to something that is not their name.

Germany? It’s called Deutschland

Spain? España.

Russia? Rossiya.

It’s everywhere and it’s weird.

The Netherlands, but in English the language is called Dutch.

But I prefer when it happens to cities. Aix-la-Chapelle or Aachen. Liège or Luik or Lüttich. Ghent or Gand or Gent.
