Alternative Country Names from English to Spanish
This second list contains a growing list of alternative country names (many of which are the official country names that aren't used in common usage) so you can have a better understanding of how each country might be called in different circumstances. Since so many of the list started with "The" or "The Rupublic" I struggled with ordering the list, so I decided to break those up aphabetically as well for ease of reading.
