so the "Öst - Aust" is simple but how does "erreich" become "ria"
I just don't get how you get "Austria" from "Österreich"

reich means realm
ria is an ending that indicates something is a country

In ancient Germanic langage austar means east. Somehow this turned into the latinized version of Österreich (which originally was called Ostarrichi meaning Eastern Realm).

Czech out how Czechs, Slovaks and Sorbs (both) call it, you'd be surprise.
William Robinson

-ia is the Latin go-to suffix for toponyms: Hispania, Dacia, Germania, Pannonia, Hibernia, Caledonia...

Czechs call it crabland (rakovsko)

I love the fact how there's both Nova Scotia and New Caledonia, and they're not connected.
Moreover, they're on completely different continents.

Why even live? For 1000 years they sought to subjugate us. They eventually won and we created one very prosperous country. But then WW1 and 2 happened, and they threw us away. Like something used and dirty.
They could have us, but they don't want to. Why? Why would they abandon us,when we needed them the most?
