Usually they select two (almost always two) from this list: Burma, Liberia,
Libya, and Myanmar. The only two that I have yet to see combined are Burma

all the other combinations.


There are only three countries above: Burma, Liberia, Libya.  The military dictatorship that overthrew Burma's democratically elected leader in 1991 has attempted to rename the country "Myanmar", but this government is not recognized as legitimate by most countries; hence, "Myanmar" is not a legitimate name.  See this past Sunday's Parade magazine.
