Netherlands

Netherlands is a funny country: its name seems to differ in quite many languages.
Can you help me translating it in as many languages as possible? Maybe also the language (Dutch) would be nice, as it also seems to differ a lot.
Note that Holland - very often used instead of Netherlands - is actually not a correct name for the country. It's an certain area in the Netherlands.

I know these:

Dutch: Nederland - Nederlands
French: les Pays-Bas - néerlandais
English: Netherlands - Dutch
German: die Niederlande - Niederländisch
Finnish: Alankomaat - alankomaalainen (but the language spoken there is hollanti!)

Tavallisesti annan käännökset suomeen ja ruotsiin, mutta luulen, ettet tarvitse niitä tällä kertaa.

Estonian: Madalmaad - hollandi
Northern Sami: Vuolleeatnamat

Polish: Niderlandy - niderlandzki, holenderski
Russian: Нидерланды - нидерландский, голландский
