An idea for something I really want!

I really want a map of the Earth with all of the proper names for countries on them... I don't mean like what we have no... I mean a map with the names that the people from those countries call it.

Example: Here in the states we call Japan "Japan"... but the Japanese call their country "Nipon" from what I understand.

racer95: I think he asks about the country names in those countries. How they call them themselves, so let me add mexico with the proper name... it's mexico hehehe.

delphis: I have searched it and it's deutschland.

Yeah... This kind of info is cool! Unfortunately America is just America... Hell... half of the time I would rather say that I'm from North America rather then from "USA"...

Now if I could only get a world map or a globe with all these names already on it.

And yeah... I meant what the native people from a country call their own country.

Holland/Netherlands = Nederland

The Dutch also call Belgium Belgie, and Germany Duitsland, but that doesnt matter. Just trivia.
