You mean the 'Catholic nation' live there instead of the famous 'Vatican nation'? Well, not exactly

It's the Holy See, not the Vaticanites.

Vatican City does not contain the name of a nation.

It is NOT tricky. The current name of the country SHOULD contain the name of a nation (famous tribe etc.) The current people in this country should say 'we have our nationality which is different from what the name of the country would suggest'. But it is not because of separatism, minority, multi-nation etc. issue. This is a simple misnaming.

Åland.

If you can't qualify that for some reason, either the Dominican Republic or Dominica.

Aland. I don't know where is this country. Please tell me that, then the name of the nation in the name 'Aland', and then the name of the nation who lives there.

Dominica: I know where is Dominica. But Dominica is named after some Spanish noble, king, prince etc. like many other things there, isn't it? Or Dominica is a name of a nation? And what is the name of the nation who lives there now?

The citizens of Åland consider themselves Finnish or Swedish, it's off the southwestern coast of Finland.

How about the Dominican Republic, then?

You mean Aland is a sovereign country with currency, parliament, UN membership and such? But which nation is in its name? And if I understand right they don't consider themselves a separate nation but a set of representatives of other nations. Little bit like Spain (only Catalan, Andalusian, Bask etc. people are there) - but it is not Spain either.

Dominican Republic: which nation is in its name? Dominic is a name of a person not a name of a nation if I am right.

The question is NOT: name a country where somebody else lives.
But: name a country where the name of the country is given internationally after a different nation. So I need two nations and one country name.

Could it perhaps be... Dominica?

OK, I give up. You really are looking for a trick which does not exist.
Both Dominica and Dominican Republic is named after Dominic or Dominica. It is not like Virginia and West Virginia and not the two Congos in Africa etc.

I give you another clue (I try in white, so you can guess using only the first clue) and also summarize:

clue 1: This country is named after a different nation. Not after the nation that actually lives in. No separatism, no multi-nation country, no minority, not two countries with similar names, not two country for same nation. Not political, not linguistic. No Trick.

clue 2: Catholics ring bells each noon. This is after a battle between two countries. The winner is the country we are looking for.

Ghana: no idea, please give a little explanation (name of nation/tribe in the name 'Ghana', and then the name of the nation who lives there and the story why they named then Ghana). But clue2 is definitely unique, with that I am positive it is not right.
Servia: maybe you mean Kosovo (as Bosnia-Herzegovina is an independent country). As I mentioned this question is not related to politics, no multi-nation question or a nation without country or one nation two countries. But 'Kosovo' has no nation name in it.

Ireland: well, many countries have different names locally. E.g. Finland is Soumi, Germany is Deutschland. But they just identify the same nation. Even if Deutsch is just part of the German tribes nobody would deny in Germany that they are the heirs of Germans. Same for Celts and Ireland. (but please I am not a professor of history so I am open for corrections)

So - not a translation issue. Think of sg. like: you name us Squareland - well actually we are Circles and not Squares.

"deutsch" is ot a German tribe :-P
