Best Answer

Thulium (ancient name of Scandinavia)

Francium (France the country)

Polonium (Poland the country)

Ruthenium (Russia the country)

Europium (continent not country)

Americium (continent not country)

Californium (the US state)

Hassium (the German state)

Tellurium (the whole Earth)

Magnesium (ancient district of Greece)

The ones in bold are strictly named after countries, the rest are stretching the interpretation of the question.

You should also not that there are a whole suite of elements named after places or towns IN countries. These are not included above.
