	The answer to Yugoslavia makes no sense.

	A) Few of these names are "ancient". Some date from 5 years ago. B) Rhodesia included both Zambia and Zimbabwe at some times. C) Serbia and Montenegro is no longer a country; Yugoslavia included Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo, and Macedonia.

	Sumatra is only one of Indonesia's islands, "Dutch East Indies" might've been a better term to use there.

	Serbia and montenegro were part of the federal republic of yugoslavia for a short time. Anyway, the given answer makes no sense

	Serbia and Montenegro are no longer unified - Plus, there was multiple other countries that were part of Yugoslavia, and saying any one of them is synonymous with the whole thing is a bit of a stretch. Czechoslovakia seems a little odd for this game, too. Burma is also still used for Myanmar in some cases. Perhaps you could add some different ones - like Abyssinia (Ethiopia), Bohemia (Czech Republic), Hibernia (Ireland), Saint-Domingue (Haiti), the Friendly Islands (Tonga)...

	This has been done many times - I did it 16 months ago, myself.
