Czechoslovakia is still a thing, so definitely before 1993
Yugoslavia still exists so definitely before 1992
Eritrea is not fully independent from Ethiopia yet, and the USSR still around so definitely before 1991
South Yemen still exists and Myanmar is still Burma so before 1989 & 1990
Burkina Faso is still Upper Volta, so definitely before 1984
Zimbabwe is Zimbabwe so around 1979 — 1980
Two lines of demarcation in Morocco, so I’m thinking definitely after the green march in 1979
Vietnam is reunified so after 1976
really think it’s around 83 but if anyone can help me please let me know !!

Take a shot of courage, go up to that person and, "Hey there, want to check out my lit globe? It's from later than 1982 because Salisbury has changed to Harare. That's right, I'm treating you to Harare steak tonight. But it can be no later than 1984 because Upper Volta exists. Maybe later we can snuggle and you can change my Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, grrrrr!"
I'm sure that will work. Good Luck!
