    Japanese as well. Technically, there are at least two words for the US, one of which is Amerika (so phonetically really close) and the other beikoku (bei here being kinda like ‘bay’ in general US English – neither of these have a stressed syllable like in English) which is typically only used in political contexts in my experience.
