Over the time I have been following this group:
* YAR, South Yemen -> Yemen
* Zaire -> DRC
* East Germany, West Germany -> Germany
* Yugoslavia -> Croatia, Serbia & Montenegro, Bosnia Herzegovina,
Slovenia, Macedonia
* Serbia & Montenegro -> Serbia, Montenegro
* Serbia -> Serbia & Kosovo
* Macedonia -> Northern Macedonia
* Czechoslovakia, The Czech Republic, Slovakia
* Czech Republic -> Czechia
* Sudan -> Sudan, South Sudan
* And then there's Russia and the Ukraine
* Israel & Palestine
* And South Africa and Namibia
I'm sure I'm missing a few.
You may say that these are a minority of nations, but these changes have
NOT by themselves necessitated ANY work on the part of this project.
That is a feature. To be clear, that work would involve someone taking
a political stance, even if that means supporting UN decisions (that's a
political decision). Better to stick with what we have: observe what
people on the ground think the time is.
