I'd like to note (following one old Russian anecdote), that this is not enough
to change the name once - you should do that at least twice, for a case when
someone suspiciously asks: "But what is the previous name?" . So you should,
after renaming Ada to Ceylon, not turn immediately to propaganda, but wait a
little, and then rename Ceylon to Sri Lanka - and only after that you may
begin you rebranding campaing.

And also offshore-enabled (as the name gently suggests).
