I feel like the flag could be improved if someone embroidered "You have died of dysentery" at the bottom of it.

But Google say this:

"Search Results
Featured snippet from the web
Libya
Al Jumahiriyah al Arabiyah al Libiyah ash Shabiyah al Ishtirakiyah al Uzma also known as Libya is the world's longest country name at 74 characters with spaces and 63 characters without.May 18, 2003"

So they clearly only win on that technicality. "Official name".

So it's "the State of Libya" now?

Enough mess going on in that country that they'll probably change the name a few times more before 2020.

You hold the record in one language out of hundreds on Earth. Congratulations on your English nationalist victory.

A record is a record I'm afraid.
