Do other countries have self-mocking slang words for their nation?

For example:

American: 'Murica
Australia: "Straya
>>
In the same shortening sense, we have 'Schland
>>
Is it a mocking abbreviation, or the equivalent of "America" for United States of America?
>>

>>

>self-mocking slang words for their nation

País de moros. Literally Moor country and not even memeing. Ejpaña is also used.
>>
Brasil-sil-sil-sil...
