But I think this translation is similar to the first few translated country names, which just grab the pronunciation into a single good character:
US: 美国 MeiGuo -- 'Country of beauty'
UK/England: 英国 YingGuo -- 'Country of heroic/brave'
Germany: 德国 DeGuo -- 'Country of virtue/moral'
France: 法国 FaGuo -- 'Country of law'
But there are so many countries so it's so hard to have one for each, so countries like Austria, Italy and Spain don't have meaning for their translations.
