About this puzzle

Country names are not permanent. Conquest, independence, political change, shifts in language, and new national identities have repeatedly redrawn both maps and the labels printed on them.

The answers to this rebus puzzle are former names once commonly used for countries that exist today.

Examples: Persia, Zaire, Upper Volta
