No, it is not.
Colombia [Eng] = Colombia [Esp] (South American country)
Columbia [Eng] = Columbia [Esp]
This is a very common mistake among English speakers, because both words sound exactly the same (not in Spanish.)

When I worked in Caracas one of the very first things my jefe told me was to be careful how I wrote 'Colombia' and not to mix it up. : ( - margaretbl, Oct 2, 2010
