Holland appeared in 1974. I remember it was bright orange.

Also the North Pole seems to have been around for a while.

There were a lot of 'The' nations. The Argentine and The Gambia to name but two more.

Ceylon.

Burma (and Rangoon).

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than open ones mouth and remove all doubt.
