I think English-speakers are not the problem here. In Spanish it is “Suiza” and “Suecia”, which is actually confusing.

120.000 google searches annually feels like a niche problem. Switzerland and Sweden share exactly two starting letters, I doubt that everyone with functioning basic pattern recognition is capable of mixing those names up too much.
