The Most Serene Republic of Venice
The Kingdom of Sicily and Sardinia

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't they actually be:

and

Il Regno di Sicilia e la Sardegna

???

I think you'll find it's considerably more than one.

Egypt, for example, should be called الدولة الفاطمية

The Byzantine Empireshould be called Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων or Basileía tōn Rhomaíōn (Imperium Romarorum (it's Latin name) would probably do well enough, TBH)

Hungary should be called Magyar Királyság
