Succeeded by Zimbabwe
Row (named 'Rhodesia') was geocoded by Nominatim to a Nottinghamshire village namesake (53.31,-1.15, GB) — a wrong PIN, not a wrong identification of the record. Proposal #3881 has since linked this row historically to the country-level Zimbabwe row #22809 (relation succeeded, existedTo 1980), which fixed the parent chain of its child 'Bulawayo, Zimbabwe' (#6276), but the stale namesake coordinate survived that change (coordsInherited false, geocodedSource nominatim). This op replaces it with Southern Rhodesia's own Wikidata coordinate, so the row sits in Africa whether or not the inherit step ever runs.
