- Serbia and Montenegro<ref>Prior to the 2001 World Factbook, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was listed as Serbia & Montenegro. This was done because the US Government did not recognize the government of former leader Slobodan Milosevic. This fact was clearly made known in the entry:
Serbia and Montenegro have asserted the formation of a joint independent state, but this entity has not been formally recognized as a state by the US. The US view is that the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) has dissolved and that none of the successor republics represents its continuation.
After Milosevic was ousted in 2000, the CIA started to refer to the nation as Yugoslavia. When dealing with older editions of the Factbook before 2001, the data listed under Serbia and Montenegro is for the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and not the new state that came into effect in Feburary 2003. </ref> - almost updated to 2003 data; have not done demographics or government)

Naming issues:
The Department of State info is at http://www.state.gov/r/pa/bgn/ ; I'm going about adding that alphabetically, as well; it's taking some time because not all of the text can be cut and pasted directly, at least not without looking sloppy. Much of it has to be integrated or left unadded, and some of their information, oddly enough, conflicts with the CIA info, esp. in re: economic figures. The status of that is here
