In Esperanto ALL THE NOUNS (including countries' names) end with "-o". It's just like simplified Spanish with only masculine grammar form formally without grammar gender ("girlfriend" is "amikino"/"koramikino").

Most have no problems with almost every country name, but when it comes to deriving names of its citizens... (even if you are trying to guess its name in your local language)
