So which country is known by the same name to the most number of other countries?

Without thinking much about it, my guess would be the United States of America.

Edit: my reasoning was that most countries translate USA verbatim to their language, as most replies here demonstrate.

Yeah, I'm not sure what we did to earn the name. Beautiful land but we'll take it

[–] feedum_sneedson 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a loose transliteration, same as 英国，法国，德国，etc.

I never really felt it was a good one as it's really far off compared to the others
