Title: Swaziland changes its name.
Post by: Walt Zingmatilder on April 20, 2018, 09:56:45 AM

The King of Swaziland has announced that Swaziland is to be known as the Kingdom of
eSwatini. Note the lower case first letter.

What would posters rename this or another country if they had the opportunity?

How about eNgland?

Forget the name change, do something about that bloody apostrophe.
