There are quite a few countries named after an individual. 1 point for the name of each such country, and 1 point for the person it's named after (a gift for several; a challenge for some).

Sovereign nations only. Current country names only, e.g. Rhodesia is not eligible. A title belonging to an individual is eligible.
