I have lived in Austria all my life and never heard of this Spray person, you couldn't have picked anything even more obscure?

"Germany now in one piece" in the original, rhyming with Greece, was fine. Just not in combination with "both Yemens" because those two things were never simultaneously true.

Not really, if you stick the UK somewhere in the beginning of a line, you don't have to rhyme anything with it.

If this is supposed to be accurate for 1993: Starting from the original, changes in italic: Norway and Sweden and Iceland and Finland and Germany now in one piece. Switzerland, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Italy, Turkey and Greece.

Then later put "UK" where "Scotland" was in the original and something else where "England" was, or the other way round for that matter.

But I am not sure what year you actually had in mind, you mentioned the Soviet Union after all.

OK, for 1991 you can just keep the original first two lines with Czechoslovakia, then replace either England or Scotland with UK.
