How on earth is that a thing? Do Americans just read the first two letters of a name and then give up?

I mean, as an Austrian I get the confusion between Austria and AustrALia (emphasis added so that Americans can also see it), but SwEDEN vs SwISS is just wild.

    I knew someone who lived in Switzerland. Switzerland isn't part of the EU, Sweden is. That meant that a lot of online shopping sites for EU residents would ship to Sweden but not Switzerland. So, he would ship to his address, but in Sweden. The nice folks in Sweden would say "gosh, another person once again confused Sweden and Switzerland" and forward the shipment to Switzerland, and he'd get his stuff.
