How often are globes updated?
Most globe manufacturers have a policy of updating a map every time it printed. Although the names or boundaries of countries can change due to wars or other political upheavals, most changes are simple name changes that are relatively easy to make. In many cases, when the U.S. State Department along with representatives (usually the embassies of the governments involved), recognizes the changes as being a fact, we implement the changes into our system.
