But what about a person from Cyprus/ Malta/ Iceland/ Slovakia/ Peru ....?

Here you are a complete list of countries (from Wikipedia) ,including the adjective used to refer to the language, nationality, and the noun to refer to the people living there.

Hi! I’m going to tell you a joke about stereotypes.
An Englishman, an Irishman, a Scotsman an American were traveling on a ship. The ship sank in the midle of the ocean. They were swimming to an island. Nobody lived in the islan, because it´s so far away, very remote. Few weeks later, American was building a supermarket, the Scotsman was teaching the English language ,the Irishman was writing a newspaper and the Englishman was still waiting to be introduced.
I hope you enjoy it.
