Italian Republic, is still the official name. A loop hole, but I think it's a good one.

Another fun quiz. Maybe next week I'll get it in one. 
Italy is still wrong. We are The United States of America, shortened to either The United States, or America; however that doesn't change the country's name.
We're all very impressed by your extreme pedantry and mastery of proper national names.
Great quiz Nick, now if only I'd thought about the instructions a little harder, I would have gotten it first time around 
I was just about to give up and read through the Wiki list of countries - so thanks for posting the answer!
I'm ashamed I didn't think of Peru, I'm a big fan of Paddington.

How about some quick, easy ones while waiting for another teaser? A few are classic oldies, but some of the younger folks might not know them. Don't PM me. Just toss out the answers.
1. What U.S. state's name is the closest to being a palindrome?
2. The outside walls of a house all have southern exposures. A bear walks by. What color is the bear? (And why?)
3. How far can you go into a forest?
4. Eight eights equal a thousand. How?
5. A man brings his biological son into the ER and takes him to a doctor. This same doctor looks at the boy and the man and says, "I can't operate on this boy. He is my biological son." Explain.
