What do you call Germany? Germany, or Deutschland? Why is the one you use more correct than the other?

Germany is more correct because they write " made in Germany" on German products.

But that was mandated by the British because the zeitgeist was that German products were shoddy crap.

I bought a zojirushi rice cooker last year, It said 'made in Japan'. Not quite sure what those characters are in your comment or what you are trying to say.
