Belarus name?

In the game, why is it called Belarus instead of Belarussia?

"Belo" means white in Russian. When the O isn't emphasized in a word, it is pronounced "A". Hence it is a Russian speech-to-writing name, which would make "Russia" (not a Russian word at all) the wrong phrase. Hence it is either this, or "White Russia".
