I agree with the person who gave the UK example. England has not been an independent country since James VI, but is part of what devolved as the Commonwealth. I am not trying to be picky (well maybe) but the bottom line is you need to research the area of interest along with the time frame to get the 'best' names for things. Rich in LA CA
