While we're in the Middle East we might as well go next door to yesterday's Iraq example and visit Syria. Also a pun which may have existed since the birth of that nation. What's with that part of the world anyway? There's a whole string of nations with ridiculously easily punned names: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Greece. Hungary is close enough to Greece to count. And then the Czech Republic is right there. It begins to reek of cartographic conspiracy.
