Were you impressed by the famous "Nevada Palladium Times" naming the "Republic of Kenya" in November 1963, even before kenya gained independence -- a time when they were a british crown colony and the Queen of England was their head of state?
The Kenyan government proclaimed itself to the world as a new Republic in December 1964, that it wasn't one before. But that means nothing against a Nevada Palladium Times article. The fact that the major papers of the day didn't refer to kenya this way before dec 1964 means nothing too eh.
