Have the letters to be in the same position after changing? If not, jAPAn and PAlAu would fit too (change 2)

Oh, I realise why not now. You should probably add a caveat telling us the order of characters shouldn't be changed.

Well, their difference is two letters, but their length is four, which means that the similarity is only 50%. I'm half-hearted on this one, honestly.

Yeah I think that how much two countries names are similar should be measured by percent, rather than number of letters that need to be changed/added. If you had two hypothetical countries, called 'Bo' and 'Fa', they would end up on this list having only two letters needed to be changed, but really the words would have no letters in common at all. The percent based scale also values longer countries, as having 6 of your 9 letters align (three letters off) would be the same as having 2 out of 3 letters aligning (one letter off).

There are two countries with Congo as part of their name so 'Congo' is not a country.

From Zambia to the answer you should have
Change 1, Add 1 in this order (as for Gambia)
I don't know if I'm right but I assumed you made the transformation in order.

Couldn't stop thinking about Libya for Syria because of the similar sound. But it would take too many changes or 2 plus reordering letters.
