Everything Everywhere Daily - Confusing Country Names

Subscribe to the podcast! 

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/


Countries, like people, have names. Sometimes those names are long and they have a shorter version of it for common use. 


There are some countries, however, that often have multiple names, and the names can be radically different from each other. They might want everyone to call it by one name, or by a certain name in a certain language, but no one does. 


Why do some countries have multiple names, and does it really make a difference? 


Learn more about countries with confusing or multiple names on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
