    BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
    Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
    Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
    British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. www.britishpathe.com/

      Yugoslavia - a federation of states which all separated and went their own way, including Serbia. Serbia was not just a rebranded Yugoslavia
      Soviet Union - same as above. in fact, ironically they existed, for a short period of time, only in Kazakhstan. Russia declared independence prior to the formal dissolution of the Union, so for a time both Russia and the Soviet Union existed at the same time
      Tibet - was annexed by another country, so it no longer exists as a nation
      United Arab Republic - split up into two states which held none of the governmental structures of the past regime, therefore it no longer exists
      East Germany - voluntarily joined West Germany, thereby stopping to exist as a nation.

    Democratic Kampuchea. Though it occupied the same area as modern day Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge regime that ruled between 1975 and 1979 made it a historical oddity for Southeast Asia: A comprehensively totalitarian and genocidal state that sought to reverse sociocultural evolution and revert the nation to an agrarian ideal by targeting not only undesirable social classes but the population as a whole. This was to be achieved through mass campaigns of killings and forced labour, effectively turning the country into a network of gulags.

    The country named 'Ceylon' ( by the three colonial powers i.e. Portuguese, Dutch and the British), has not ceased to exist or lost its sovereignty. It has only changed its name to 'Sri Lanka' ( like 'Siam' to 'Thailand') which means in the Sinhala language ' Respendent Isle', on May 22, 1972, when the country declared itself a Republic and shed its dominion status in the British Commonwealth. The original name of ' Ceylon' prior to the arrival of the Portuguese in 1505 was ' Sinhale' that had lasted for more than two thousand years. The early travellers to Ceylon such as the Chinese Buddhist monk Fa Hien ( 410 A.D.) in his 'Record of Buddhistic Kingdoms: Being an Account of His Travels in India and Ceylon' refer to Ceylon / Sri Lanka as the ' Sinhaladipa' ( Island of the Sinhala people).
    Fa-Hien's writings and those of another Chinese Buddhist monk Xuan Zang (also known as Heung Tsang )as well as other ancient Chinese records referred to Sri Lanka as the land of Sinhalas. The different Chinese names Shizi guo, Sit Tio, Si Tiao, She Tiao, Seng-Kia-lo denoted the same meaning - Simhala, Sinhaladipa or Kingdom of the Lions.

    Although colonies may not be considered 'nations,' many had central governments and their own monetary systems; so, I listed some of those that I could remember along with actual nations of the past. I also list nations I didn't see in other comments.
    Biafra; Rhodesia; Germania and Troy in ancient times; Siam; Persia; Abyssinia; colonies such as Italian Libya (Tripolitania), Italian Somalia and East Africa; German East Africa, German Southwest Africa; French Indochino; Belgian Congo; Bohemia and Moravia; Ottoman Empire; Prussia and other German Free States (semi-autonomous Danzig; Pomerania; etc.); Danish West Indies; German Solomon Islands; Kiautschou Bay concession; Chefoo; Tianjin; Burma; British Malaya; Dutch East Indies; Tanganyika; Portuguese Angola, Macau, India, Guinea, Brazil, Mozambique, Timor, etc; Swedish Gold Coast, Guadeloupe, Saint Barthélemy, Tobago, New Sweden and others; etc., etc...too many more to add.
