A few, such as Andorra and Suriname, miss by the omission of just one letter in one language.

Thank you for the quiz. As a child I learned in my native language Finnish that it is Surinam, but now that I checked, Wikipedia seems to say Suriname. I would still write Surinam in Finnish and Suriname in English.

It was actually Surinam without the -e in English too. I don't really remember when the extra letter snuck in.

I'm surprised with German. I take German tests regularly and think of the drastic differences on a lot of country names, e.g., Griechenland, Frankreich, Österreich, Weißrussland, Tschechien. Similarly, Dutch maintains a lot of English spellings where German does not, but throws in a lot of quirky variants on country names that are more standardized in the other languages.
