Question: What country has used more forms of the country's name (due to changes in its official names) in its stamp inscriptions than any other country?

Winning response will be first correct entry received at or before 5 A.M., November 16, 2021, eastern US time. If no correct entry is received, the earliest entry will win. My decision as to winner is final.

Good luck to all who choose to participate!

Since I'm going to bed soon I'll only leave a guess (after a 5-min google search):
Dahomey (Benin)
Maybe Congo/Zaire?
is it Myanmar?
Hi there! I am an inexperienced collector with an interest in a lot of coins
The country has always had the same name in English but many variations on stamps inscribed in its own language.

Will
South Africa
Madagascar?
New Zealand?
Cambodia?
They say "Pecunia non olet", but I know better...
There is a USSR stamp with a total of 16 different languages on it. However, I believe the question is intended to ask specifically to name changes during time but I thought this fact is interesting and worth posting.

​Interesting!!
I have also found something similar while exploring Stampboard's forum. One of the members had shared "Denmark's 1966 Red Cross charity" - a stamp with more than 30 languages.

Somewhat off topic but also interesting. Belgium issued stamp with design entirely of words (606 full words in 4 languages).

​South Africa
​Which Congo?

There were four different colonial entities named "Congo": the Congo Free State (later Belgian Congo), Middle Congo (a French colony), French Congo and Portuguese Congo.

Congo is very confusing.
Najuk
Greece just because.

​That is why I choose congo since its name has been used in many forms.
