Names of Countries in their Native Language

I'm not saying you're wrong, and I'm not saying I didn't encounter it and fail to see its significance, but I never saw - or at least perceived - Sesel written anywhere in that country.

I like the idea but don't love the implementation for two reasons

- One of the caveats gives away one of the answers

- When a country has multiple official or de facto languages or scripts, sometimes the not-most-common is used, which seems to be purposefully confusing. Not wrong, just misleading

Why is Armenia romanized rather than written in Armenian script? I thought there were no romanizations?

How do you decide for countries with more than one native language? Then in those cases it's not their endonym so much as one of their endonyms.

Ελλάς is also not the modern name of the country, which is instead Ελλάδα
