    I was going to say Italy too but the official name is Repubblica Italiana and Spain is Reino de España.  There are quite a few with six letters.

      Not so; you'll notice that I didn't click the 'Like' button, not for your response nor for any of the others.

    I haven't been there but my wife's grandmother was from there: Cymru. That's the official (Welsh) name of Wales.

    Just because I have the link in my collection, here is an explanation of the names of countries within The United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland. It is interesting to note that the biggest jurisdiction doesn't actually have a name.
