    Usually Netherlands.

    Turks calling as "Hollanda"
    Greeks calling as "Ollandía"
    Bulgarians calling as "Kholandiya"

    although i know holland is just a province in particular of the Netherlands in italian we have two interchangeable terms

    we can use "Olanda" or "Paesi Bassi"( lowcountries) , they have the same meaning

    Calling the Netherlands "Holland" is like calling Great Britain "England."

    Not exactly. Holland is much much more important to the Netherlands than Texas is to USA. Its more like calling the UK "England".

    Also, some Dutch people themselves call the entire country "Holland" sometimes. So the promotion of the term "Holland" for the whole country is partially their fault.

    Well, Holland is the informal name standing for the whole. However, I find it classless and I say Netherlands whenever I can (or 'Nederland' in my native tongue). Some Belgians do say 'Ik ben in Holland geweest/ Waar in Holland dan?/ In Eindhoven/ Da's Noord-Brabant, man.' but I don't.

    I always refer to the country as the Netherlands, the only time I'll use Holland is when I'm talking about their national football team.

    I know a lot of people who do use Holland though.

    I think the term Holland is much more common in the UK than the US. I've heard others say the same.
