Alternate Names for OTL countries

If they do this, they will have an eternal conflict with Romania, like the cultural war with Macedonia.

Also, Italian fascists will not like this.
The term Romania was not used officially before 1862 when the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia were renamed Romanian United Principalities and as a stand alone name before 1866, decades after the independence of Greece. Had newly independent Greece decided to call itself Vasílion tis Rhōmaiōn officially and R(h)omania inofficially the United Principalities would either have continued to call themselves Moldavia and Wallachia and later, after Transsylvania became part of the country might have revived the ancient name Dacia or Dakia instead of using the unwieldy name of Kingdom of Moldavia, Transsylvania and Wallachia. Italy also didn't unite until the 1860's and might have contented itself after that to merely request that Vasílion tis Rhōmaiōn be translated as Kingdom of Rhomea or Kingdom of the Rhomeans instead of Kingdom of Rome or Kingdom of the Romans.

I hope it's okay to necro this, but I have some ideas that don't appear to have been mentioned.

Switzerland -- Helvetica
Great Britain -- Albion
Russia -- Muscovy
Crimea -- Taurida
Portugal -- Lusitania
Azerbaijan -- Albania (after the ancient Caucasian Albania)
Albania -- Shkip (based on the native name) or Epidamnia ("Albania" is derived from an ancient settlement in the region; "Epidamnia" is just a different one in a similar location)
Georgia -- Iberia (after the ancient Kingdom of Iberia)
Pakistan -- Sindh
Laos -- Lan Xang
China -- Song (or other major Chinese dynasty)
Taiwan -- Formosa
Eritrea -- Tigre
Yemen -- Hadhramaut

Also, some alternate U.S. state names:

New York -- Hudson or Erie (the latter for a separate Upstate NY)
Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois -- Miami (before the city of Miami is founded, though)
Michigan -- Huron or Superior
Wisconsin -- Winnebago
North and South Dakota -- Dakota and Lakota
Alabama -- Choctaw
New Mexico -- Navajo
Wyoming -- Cheyenne (if the city does not have the same name)
Idaho -- Shoshone or Jefferson (the latter could also be an alternate name for Montana)
Oklahoma -- Sequoyah (I believe this name was considered IOTL)
