Wait till you hear about the Netherlands (Dutch) and Finland (Finns)
and others (includes some alternate names, might skip some accents)
- Azerbaijan (Azeri),
- Burkina Faso (Burkinabe)
- Equatorial Guinea (Equatoguinean)
- Eswatini (Swazi, it makes more sense if it's Swaziland, but it's not anymore)
- Greece (Hellenic)
- Guinea-Bissau (Bissau-Guinean, WHAT THE HELL, IT'S NOT BISSAU-GUINEA, IT'S GUINEA-BISSAU!)
- Hungary (Magyar)
- Iran (Persian)
- Isle of Man (Manx)
- Ivory Coast (Ivorian)
- Lesotho (Basotho)
- Monaco (Monégasque)
- Myanmar (Burmese)
- Many of the [X] and [Y] places (eg Saint Kitts and Nevis) aren't full of Saint Kitts and Nevisians, they're full of Kittitians and Nevisians
- San Marino (Sammarinese)
- Sint Eustatius (Statian)
- Taiwan (Formosan)
- United Arab Emirates (Emirati - what, are they the only Emirate in the world? Kuwait and Qatar are also! Plus the Kuwaiti are also Arab! And according to the CIA world factbook, 57.8 percent of Kuwait's residents are Arab, whereas 65.5 percent of the UAE's residents are SOUTH ASIAN OR FILIPINO, and you may not realize it, BUT NEITHER OF THOSE ARE ARABS! Pretty much every word except for 'United' is a blatant lie!)
- Vanuatu (Ni-Vanuatu)
- Western Sahara (Sahrawi)
And then there are some where the words are the exact same thing:
DRC/Republic of the Congo: Congolese
North/South Korea: Korean
Dominican Republic/Dominica: Dominican
Goddamnit, English.
