This section is dedicated to political and state entities that no longer appear on the current political map, but which have exerted a major influence on the course of history. From vast empires and ideological federations, such as the USSR or Yugoslavia, to states that have fundamentally changed their form of government or official name, this category serves as a bridge between the geography of the past and the reality of the present. Our goal is to preserve the original context of events, respecting the official names under which these nations operated in their respective eras.
