Countries and their alternative names "land of ..."?

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if you know any countries with their alternative name as "land of .." for example,

I only know a few of them which are: Japan is called the "Land of the rising sun", New Zealand is called "Land of the Long White Cloud" and that Mongolia is called "The land of the blue sky"

Does anyone know any more because I'd be really interested to know quite a few more :)

More interesting answer gets best answer.

Thank you!

Update:

Also if you know of a a link with countries and their alternative name (land of ...) I'll vote your answer as best, but if no one knows of any links I'll just vote best most interesting.

Been looking everywhere but can't find any links D:' plz help if you can thank you.

    i'm ultimate here for BQ2. no rely if *anybody* can particularly objectively evaluate music is a distinctive question, yet is there particularly a element to doing so? music is meant to be an emotional expression. it is interior of its very nature to be subjective. devoid of that subjectivity, all you're able to do is count quantity the beats, confirm the chord progressions, etc. yet that's not why the music replaced into created. It replaced into created to precise emotion. for this reason i don't purchase into the belief of any "maximum excellent album ever" or "maximum excellent band ever", apart from what my present day widespread is. regardless of effects me in my opinion he maximum is the desirable. constructive it is distinctive for each guy or woman, yet it is the character of paintings.
