It's bad enough when Americans get the name of the country that set them up wrong, but we'd hope that our European friends and allies with whom we are in economics and social union would at least get it right. ;-)
Go on, admit it, you've used "Holland" to refer to "the Netherlands" before; and I bet plenty of people still refer to the non-existent nation of "Czechoslovakia" out of habit - to the annoyance of "our European friends and allies" from "Slovakia" and "the Czech Republic"... :p
