		billswift on Aug 31, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How Old Is Your Globe? It isn't quite consistent even there. I have a Replogle globe that according to the chart is simultaneously post-1975 (with Suriname) and pre-1971 (no United Arab Emirates, Zaire, or Bangladesh). So I suspect the Suriname entry is an error in the chart.

Suriname existed as a separate country before it became independent in November 1975.

It was part of the kingdom of the Netherlands, but not part of the country itself.

It was called Suriname, at least in the Netherlands, and, I am fairly sure, in Suriname itself.
