| Rhodesia is not a country. Zimbabwe is a country and it is not named for a person. HOWEVER, if you DO count Zimbabwe, then you'd also have to count Zambia and Malawi which were collectively known as the "Federation of Rhodesia and Nyassaland."
But then you shouldn't count it at all. If you were to count it then you'd have to go back through history and find all instances of nations named for people and include them as well, such as Saint-Domingue. (At least back to the early modern period, if you wanted to get involved in the debate about nationalism).
Also, you still include GIbraltar and Bermuda. If you include them, why not include the island St. Thomas? It is inconsistent. |
