Countries of the World in 1959 on Map

I bow down to you thou noblemen, who has driven back the darkness and replaced it with the brightest of the lights. I bow down to you thou noblemen, who has crushed toowise, a lesser noblemen by any standards. I bow down to you thou noblemen, who is one of only 32 users with 45,000+ points. I bow down to you thou noblemen, who strikes fear deep within the hearts of his enemies. I bow down to you thou noblemen, who stopped me from saying the stroke on this map is a bit hit or miss. I bow down to you thou noblemen, who stopped me from questioning the continental rotation on a flat map. I bow down to you thou noblemen, who has made me write the stupidest comment in my life. I am forever in your service, sir NigelS.

Also, Egypt and Syria were united as the United Arab Republic in 1959.

As someone mentioned before, Djibouti is mistakenly part of the UK on this map. Also, Yemen had not unified yet with South Yemen still under British control. West Papua (Western New Guinea) was not a part of Indonesia at this time, originally declaring independence in 1961. The Seychelles were a British colony.

You said that your source had "too many mistakes", would you like to elaborate on those mistakes? The only mistakes I noticed were a couple countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, and a small island of Indonesia.

I really like this quiz, it just needs a bit more work.
