Oh shit. I misread that.

Well it's Austrias fault. That would be like if Hawaii were named Camada and expect people will always read it as intended. Should just get their own damn name. Plus, Hitler came from Austria. They should have changed their name in 1946. Been like "Sorry guys, thats our bad."
