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.
Interesting!!

or
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.

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