What country has a station named as such?

It's my ironic name for a next-to-useless, vastly expensive and underused station in the middle of nowhere which was built to appease an outspoken MSP for the Scottish Borders....and which - ironically - would have become an international frontier station had Scottish independence come to pass. I would, of course, not use that satirical suffix in the 'End of the Station's Word' quiz! ;)

In as much as Mancunians tend to refer to "Ardwick International" as a somewhat white elephant of a station with a footbridge said to be held together by rust et al.
