Original Note:
NNN - It's not a question about why -stan is used as a suffix for countries, but rather questions the use of this iranic suffix rather than non-orientalising equivalents such as -land. If a note for context is added, it should mention this distinction as well. https://www.britannica.com/story/where-did-the--stan-country-name-suffix-come-from
