Again: New Zealand does not contain a name of a nation.

I already touched it but I make it mainstream: name of a majority tribe (German) counts here as a name of a nation.

Ask the Swiss people whether they are not Swiss. What else? I know French, German and Italian part of Switzerland but as a whole nation they are Swiss and they don't deny it.
This is not a multi-nation, minority, separatist, political, ethnic question.

Sorry, I almost missed the guess Germany. As far as i know Germans don't say we are not Germans but English or French. Translation does not count.

Taiwan and China is a political issue for 2 countries. My question is NOT political in any sense. It is a historical misnaming.
Let me tell you as a Monthy Python's sketch:

- Well, here is the next nation to be named.
- Aye, let me see. How they look like?
- They look very funny (laughing). Big nose, strange clothes ha-ha-ha-ha. They remind me the Squares.
- Ha-ha-ha. Do they already have some unofficial name?
- Yes, they call themselves...
- Not important. Let me see.... The previous names were France (LOL for 6 seconds), Germany (LOL for 8 seconds), England (LOL for 27 and half seconds). So the next name should be... should be... Square!!!! (LOL for 2 seconds).
- Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. But please here are some representatives of them and they want to argue themselves for their names.
- Let them in.
 ('Squares' come. funny clothes, long nose)
- So. You want to have an official name and you come here to the Official Nation Naming Office.
- Yes, and we would like to be named as....
- Not important. Let me tell you first that your application is just very-very-very .... square! Ha-ha-ha-ha So. The Official Nation Naming Office take it anyway because we want to avoid being seen as some ... some ... rude .... not important.
- Yes, and we would like to be named as....
- Forget it. The Official Nation Naming Office creates names upon very thorough research, and not upon wishes. Imagine if for example the United States would have been named after the wishes of the Dutch? Would it be now a Ve-rei-ni-g!-te States ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (LOL for 11 seconds)? So, the research (ha-ha) we conducted resulted in the name of: Squareland!
- But we don't want to be Squareland. We are Circles and not Squares.
- Not important. If you don't like your new official name you can appeal. Can you write?
- No we can't.
- You can't write and you still want to interfere with the naming process? Are you an idiot? No write, no right (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)! Go away, you ... Squares!
('Squares' go)
- Mr. Officer. Here we have the following nation. They say they are heirs of Latins living in the peninsula at the Mediterranean sea. They want to keep the name Latin.
- No way. Let me see ... If we just mix the letters ... Ilants ... Itanls ...

I accept any solution that satisfies the followings:

1. The well-known 'international' name of the country contains the name of a nation (famous tribe etc.)
2. The people who live in that country all say 'No, we are NOT from the nation the country name would suggest. We are from a (one)  separate nation.'
3. This second nation lives in this country without any political, ethnic, minority, separatist or such issue.
4. There is only one country having the name of the nation mentioned at 1.

shortly said: The country is named after a different nation.

(Taiwaneese say 'we are chinese' and our country is 'China'. not accepted)

Not all Taiwanese consider themselves Chinese, to be exact.

Western Sahara? :-P

Seriously though, you can't be talking about Transnistria, can you?

No, Western Sahara has no nation in its name.
It is a well-known country, existing, serious, not a one-island country form Oceania.

(sorry for the Taiwaneese, history goes, but my quiz is not subject to such dispute)
