Memo to John McCain

Dear Senator McCain,

It has been brought to my attention that twice in the past two days, you’ve referred to Czechoslovakia, a country which hasn’t existed since 1993.  In a gesture of non-partisanship, I would like to provide this handy list of countries that existed during your lifetime, but now no longer exist:

U.S.S.R.
Prussia
Hamburg
Transylvania
Sardinia
Gaul
Saxony
Constantinople
The Holy Roman Empire
