Good to see that has been resolved.
Gabon, GAB
Gabon is a country in Africa on the Equator. It was a French colony, officially occupied in 1885 and made part of French Equatorial Africa in 1910. As with the rest of French Equatorial Africa, Gabon sided with Free France during World War II, and, a few days after the other colonies of French Equatorial Africa were granted independence, Gabon gained independence on August 17, 1960. It has been ruled as a one party republic since 1961, when the leaders of the two parties agreed on a single list, ending the former two-party system.
Georgia, GEO
Georgia is a country located in the Caucasus, a former Soviet republic. Georgia first came into the Russian sphere in a 1783, when the Georgian kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti received the protection of Russia, following a treaty signed by the two countries. However, in 1800, Tsar Paul I signed a declaration of the incorporation of Kartli-Kakheti into the Russian Empire, confirmed by Tsar Alexander I in 1801, after the dethroning of the Georgian heir and the institution of Russian administration. In 1810, after a brief war, the other Georgian kingdom of Imereti was annexed by Russia, and the rest of Georgia annexed over the following years. In 1918, following the Russian Revolution, Georgia declared independence amidst the Russian Civil War. This period was uneventful except for a short war with Armenia over Lori, which the British brokered a peace agreement for. Georgia was under British protection from 1918, which ended in 1920, and in 1921, the Red Army attacked. Georgia, which was surrounded following the defeat of Armenia and Azerbaijan, and without foreign support since the British evacuation of the Caucasus, was soundly defeated, and a Soviet government installed, though the USSR did not assume total control until August 1924, when an uprising was put down.
Gold Coast, GLD
The Gold Coast is a West African coastal nation. It was a British colony. It first came under British control in 1821, when the British government abolished the African Company of Merchants and seized the company's lands, and over the 19th century, would take other European nations' holdings on the Gold Coast. The British would also expand the colony by invading local kingdoms, who had been friendly with the African Company of Merchants, and by 1901, all of Gold Coast was under British control. The British shipped all kinds of natural resources from the Gold Coast, and built-up the nation's infrastructure. They also built many hospitals and schools in return. In 1945, nationalist calls rose up as the Second World War ended and decolonization began. In 1957, the Gold Coast was granted independence.
