A world map with local names

I'm not sure if this exists, but I want one.

I don't care what projection -- but I want it to say "Deutschland", not "Germany". I want a map that names each country what its people call it.

If anyone can find such a thing, I'd love to know about it.

i wanted to make one of these in cartography class because there was NOT one available for purchase in 79 thru 92. It annoyed the crud out of me. The problem with mine that i started making was for cities in dispute, like Zweibruken, Two bridges, du pounce, er, that's spelled wrong, anyway, if you do find out let me know, i've wanted one since i was ten.
