“Belarus” spelling error
When they added Belarussia onto the map they incorrectly spelled it Belarus.

Most people know Belarus as it’s modern name, so I think people will be confused if it was Belarussia, but the also not to mention that it’s also spelt BelarusCROgamer wrote:

My father once said this: “If you don’t know anything, don’t assume you know and don’t say anything you don’t know is true”
I always got annoyed when he said that, but to be honest he’s kinda right if you think about it
Have a good day!

This confusion is most likely the result of a language gap. In most Eastern European languages, the name for Belarus is same as the name for Russia, with “bela” (white) added at the beginning. For example, in Serbia-Croatian (I’m assuming the OP is Croatian) the name for Belarus is “Belarusija”. If they don’t know the correct name in English, chances are they’ll just assume it is “Belarussia”.
