As can be seen here and here, Sri Lanka was a Republic between 1972 and 1978. However, we currently only have Democratic Socialist Republic (1972-). Can this please be corrected?

Thanks, I've put the requests in. One note has been combined across the two country names, so I've requested a split here. We'll need to work through the letterings next to make sure we have the correct names given.

The name ‘Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka’ applies since 1978, when the powers of the President of Sri Lanka was changed from a non-executive position (like the Governor-General of Ceylon) to being a powerful executive position in which the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka is effectively a powerless stool pigeon doing the President's bidding.
