Eswatini used to be Swaziland but it's easier to remember as it's a teeny country

there's a cluster of "Z" countries doiwn there. Gabon and Ghana used to trip me up. i do it now and then as figure it's good mental gymnastics to fututre proof the old noggin then i will forget about it for 6 months and have to relearn them all again. I've been to Kenya Sudan Eritrea Burundi and Liberia so can pretty much remember their neighbours which helps a bit
