Will Ukraine ever be recognized as Russia if Putin wins the war? When India was governed as a colony by the British, did it stop being India?

Rhodesia changed its name to Zimbabwe, true, but the boundaries of the land did not change. When a new party wins an election, we seldom change the name, let alone the boundaries of a country. Governments, whether they be kings, politicians, presidents, emperors, military leaders, come and go as we all know. What is a country? It is an area of land controlled by the people whose home it is through their government. So, what are we left with? The land, the territory, the country.

The question of which chart to use in mundane astrology is a problem many astrologers face which is not helped by the many charts for each country given by Nicholas Campion in his Book of World Horoscopes.Ī nation is defined in the dictionary as a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.
