West African States don't exist any more

Hi,

please everybody use WESTERN AFRICA, stupid me, why did I never think of that????

Normally it is and was "West African States", so who came up with that rubbish? Please change it back immediately.

Thanks, Ole

I have to agree on this. If we want to keep our credibility we certainly don't have to invent non existing new countries.
One could make the same argument over "Eastern Caribbean" vs "East Caribbean States", no?
Yes Jesse11, that's completely the same.
Or maybe an even better solution for this one is keep the name "Eastern Caribbean" but split it in two issuers:
- British Caribbean Territories
- East Caribbean States
Because in the case of British Caribbean Territories - East Caribbean States there was more than only a change of name. Also the boundaries were different: Trinidad and Tobago and British Guiana were part of the British Caribbean Territories but were no longer part of the East Caribbean States.
Shoud the same apply to Central African States as well?
Ole,
West African States is correct - as it is the direct translation from French.
