South Africa has, for example, undergone changes of province, town, street, and anthem names for this reason. This is quite natural. The Swazi King's use of\u0026nbsp; the phrase \"revert to ancient names\" means one of the old Swazi names, not an ancient Khoisan name - the Khoisan being the people to have, we understand, first inhabited the land.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nThe second reason is interesting. Getting confused with a country like Switzerland is perhaps quite enviable for most; on all economic and well-being indicators Switzerland will outperform Swaziland.

Although the King has promised to change the name over time in a bid to reduce the costs of it, the direct financial cost will not be insubstantial and needs to be considered carefully. It is not simply a question of changing letterheads because the brand identity of the nation changes. In this sense it should be treated as a formal rebrand similar to the way in which a corporate might attend to such a change.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nIf that is the case, using \"back of an envelope\" calculations I estimate the rebranding expense to be $6million (based on Swaziland\u0026nbsp;taxable and non taxable revenue of 26% of annual GDP at\u0026nbsp; \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.imf.org\/external\/pubs\/ft\/weo\/2017\/01\/weodata\/weorept.aspx?pr.x=39\u0026amp;pr.y=15\u0026amp;sy=2017\u0026amp;ey=2021\u0026amp;scsm=1\u0026amp;ssd=1\u0026amp;sort=country\u0026amp;ds=.\u0026amp;br=1\u0026amp;c=734\u0026amp;s=NGDPD%2CNGDPDPC%2CPPPGDP%2CPPPPC%2CLP\u0026amp;grp=0\u0026amp;a=\"\u003E$3.9 billion\u003C\/a\u003E, and typical rebranding budgets at 10% of marketing budgets, which are typically 6% of revenue).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nTotal Revenue = $1billion\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMarketing budget = $60million\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nRebrand budget = $6million\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThis expense, for a population barely exceeding 1 million with a growth rate of around 1% off a low base and substantial other \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/tradingeconomics.com\/swaziland\/gdp-growth-annual\"\u003Eeconomic difficulties\u003C\/a\u003E; is not insignificant.
