There are some awfully contentious inclusions in this category. Many of these are merely extinct regimes, but existing countries. For example, there are several terms here that refer to past constitutional arrangements of France and Spain. It seems to me we should distinguish between former regimes and former countries. -- Jmabel 17:43, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
Yes as I was going to say. Zaire is the D.R. of Congo, North Vietnam is Vietnam, Yugoslavia=Serbia, Spanish State=Spain, etc etc. Vital Component--
- Perhaps it should be moved to "former states"? The same thing struck me reading it. Palmiro 18:37, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] ??
Why is the Republic of Ragusta listed under 'd'?
- Probably for Dubrovnik, the modern name of Ragusa. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:26, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
- Sho'nuff. I've now changed it, but won't be surprised if I'm reverted. I'm not putting the article on my watchlist, so if anyone cares, I suggest you watchlist Republic of Ragusa. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:35, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
