Its Nippon its just that the p is very soft.
Actually, it's both, with Nihon being the more common of the two :p

I think most of us in the UK bash the rest of the world just cause we're like that, we seperate ourselves from the rest of the world because we can. We've come up with stereotypes for everyone, and most of the countriesn we've either
a) Shot all the native countrymen when we had all the guns
b) Shot all the native countrymen when we had the big guns
Sadly, I think all countries (except Canada and New Zealand- those people are just lovely) have this attitide now.
History, meh. ^_^ That's why. Oh, my country has a heck lot of names in heck lot of languages. o_O And I only know two of 'em. But there has to be more.
