Oh, you mean "Deutschland" ?

I've never quite figured out how there can be that much difference  
between what a country calls itself and what everyone else calls it.   
I mean, maybe in the long-ago politically-incorrect past, but if  
China (another one!) or India can change the names of their major  
cities more or less at will, why can't there be ONE pronounciation  
for each country (local mangling aside, and alphabet conversion  
allowed...)
