[edit] Usage

Is a former country one that no longer exists at all, or one that no longer exists in the same form? Some of these have inheritors (e.g. Aksum) that have continued the country with a different name, while others (e.g. Fulani Empire) have ceased to exist altogether. Which of the two (or is it both?) is this category supposed to encompass? Yom 22:35, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
