Zambia started the 1964 Summer Olympics as one country and ended them as
another.

Zambia officially achieved independence on 24 October 1964 after having
been under the control of Great Britain and known as Northern Rhodesia
since 1890. The country’s independence occurred during the 1964 Summer
Olympics, so athletes from the country arrived in Tokyo, Japan, for the
Games on 10 October 1964 as representatives from Northern Rhodesia and
returned after the Games ended on 24 October as citizens of Zambia. The
Zambia Independence Act of 1964 was passed that day, declaring Zambia a
free and independent republic. Kenneth Kaunda was elected president and
served from 1964 through 1991.
