Missing Ireland, who participated at the first British Empire Games, which is now called the Commonwealth Games. Also, the word should be nations, not countries, as many of these are not countries (i.e. England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, British Virgin Islands, etc.).

Also, I'm 99 percent sure Saudi Arabia never participated in the commonwealth games.

Some odd things going on here, you've put Rwanda in but not Tokelau even though both teams are due to compete this time having never participated before. You've got Saudi Arabia when I think you mean South Arabia (a precursor to Yemen). Also, in some cases you've included constituent parts of current countries but not others, for example you've included Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak which are all parts of Malaysia today but haven't for example mentioned Tanganyika which merged with Zanzibar to form Tanzania and which competed in its own right in 1962. Also you should probably include Rhodesia and Rhodesia and Nyasaland since they were distinct entities in their own right and didn't simply go through a name change. Finally, Newfoundland competed in its own right in 1930 and 1934 before being joined on to Canada so should probably be included too.

Also, Sabah is known as North Borneo too, you should probably accept that as an alternative name.
