To add insult to injury, what they call it, Deutschland, sounds like what we should call Netherlands

As someone from Czech Republic, I am not surprised. There are sometimes huge differences between country names in czech and English. And the closer the country is, the bigger the difference.

For the German speaking countries eng - ger - cze:

  • Germany - Deutschland - Německo
  • Austria - Österreich - Rakousko
  • Switzerland - Sweiz - Švýcarsko

Other examples (eng - cze):

  • Czech - Česko
  • Slovakia - Slovensko
  • Slovenia - Slovinsko
  • Greece - Řecko
  • Georgia - Gruzie
  • Spain - Španělsko
  • Greenland - Grónsko
  • Hungary - Maďarsko
  • Croatia - Chorvatsko
