Serbia and Montenegro have united to form "Serbia and Montenegro".
That's news to me. I thought that the official full name of the union was still the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (in English translation). But rather than worry about the politics of this, I'd rather do whatever ISO 3166 does. I just checked http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/lis... (dated 2002-02-20) and I see that it still lists "Yugoslavia" as the English short name for that country.
