Belgium-Luxembourg
USSR
Yugoslav SSR
Czechoslovakia
Serbia and Montenegro

Martin mentioned that we might not want to merge at all - that would include Sudan and Ethipioa, which are currently merged.

nk027 commented 5 years ago

Actual countries missing:

Oman is missing from 1986:1989
Netherland Antilles is missing 2011:2013

Possibly drop them instead of filling gaps.

As of 8fa3db9207be80fc35933ad1324962ff8a073c14 only Ethiopia is being merged, as it is the only country that went through a pure name change. The framework is flexible however and more merges could be implemented easily, if desired.
