The number of people here misspelling Colombia…

German spelling is Kolumbien, it might have something to do with that.

It's likely because there are a lot of things named Columbia in the US. District of Columbia, Columbia South Carolina, Columbia River, Columbia University, the space shuttle Columbia, and in Canada British Columbia.
