Regarding those three Hanzi…. It’s “Made in Spain”. Here is a little bit more in-depth look at this:

Nation name translation in Chinese language was based on pronunciation of the nation. Major western powers were commonly assigned a single Hanzi (the 1st Hanzi) which pronounces not far away (not exact, but close enough) from the sound of the 1st or 2nd syllable of the nation’s name in that country’s native language. The second Hanzi was fixed “國” (“guo” -- country). For example, England, Français, Deutsch, America etc, were all translated this way.

One problem of this translation system was obvious: there are so many countries in the world, and if each one were assigned a single Hanzi, it would be hard to remember those translated names. The solution was simple: most country’s translated name was the full pronunciation. So, the translated name could be very long.

So, this language is ‘biased’ on nation name translation. Schroeder mentioned in Guns Report that the first two Hanzi translated into Spain, that’s correct, but he added an extra comment saying “Sun Country”, and that’s not right. A Hanzi commonly has a few meanings, and no meaning was assigned to it in the context of nation name translation. After all, it’s just by pronunciation of the leading sound of “España” (the sound before s). No more, no less.
