Vasco de Gama came to Comoros much earlier surely? Around 1497-1502 I would've thought?

de Gama punched out in 1524. Don't think he discovered anything in 1593. Or, perhaps, he did and his ghost still haunts the Comoros.

Grand Comore is obsolete - the current accepted name is Ngazidja.It should at least be accepted as an alternate name.

Man, Comoros is literally the only country whose capital I can never remember. I always want it to be Maseru, Mbabane, or Melekeok (which I know isn’t even the capital).
