Also renamed Macedonia to North Macedonia due to Prespa Agreement.

Hello,

  • The Czech Republic is also rolling out its new name, Czechia: in my opinion, the option could read as “Czech Republic (Czechia)” or “Czechia (Czech Republic)”. If I recall correctly, HTML drop-down menus should not have a problem with brackets (Source).
  • Swaziland has also renamed itself as Eswatini: in my opinion, the option could read as either “Eswatini (Swaziland)” or “Swaziland (Eswatini)” (Source).

Yap has only 28 obvious puppets (says nothing about non-obvious ones), but the same player also has 33 Chuuk puppets (actually not counted in the 400 above, I think they're two different puppetmasters), and it seems similar numbers of every other flag too.

Let me guess: Womble?

Yes, actually. That's the one with about 30 puppets in every flag.

The one with 400 Chuuk puppets is someone else, who uses constellation-themed names. Aquarii 051-100, Cygnus 051-100, Lyra 101-200, Orion 101-300 (except Lyra 128 which has a custom flag).

Code: Select all
cat nations.xml | grep '^<NAME>\|^<FLAG>' | grep -B1 '^<FLAG>.*/Chuuk.png</FLAG>' | grep '<NAME>' | sort
