:LOL, I was thinking mainly of the name changes where you'd think a brand new country suddenly appeared on the map if you didn't know otherwise. Not too many Westerners in my acquaintance could name all 44 African countries; I'm not even sure I could name all the countries in North America. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 14:18, 8 December 2008 (EST)

::OK, a more serious question. What about multiple renamings, eg Belgian Congo => Zaire => DR Congo. Two separate entries, for Belgian Congo => Zaire and Zaire => DR Congo, or one string of three, listed under B? (and we might get some longer strings) [[User:Bugler|Bugler]] 14:29, 8 December 2008 (EST)
