	Some of these are indeed "ancient" names, but many would be better described as "colonial."

	Sorry, I didn't know how else to title it :/

	Also... Zanzibar isn't the old name of Tanzania, it's just a part of it. Like saying Hawaii is the old name for USA. Likewise French Indochina wasn't only Vietnam, also including Laos and Cambodia. And Nippon and Hellas are just local names for Japan and Greece, not old names for them. I'd also replace Salem with Palestine

	You should accept DRC for Dem. Rep. of the Congo.

	Nippon is STILL the official name of Japan. It's not "ancient." And Holland is part of the Netherlands.

	In addition to the points made above, Kampuchea is in current use, Azania is a very vague term which refered to much of Southern Africa and Mesopotamia is an ancient region which included part of Iraq and other countries but couldn't really be thought of as a previous name of Iraq.
