However, assuming only evacuations happened in England (which is not the case), I think it's irrelevant: evacuations occurred in Germany also, but seem to have been confined mostly to western and northern parts. Yet the article has the name of the country in it, not the names of regions, areas or islands of the country. The wiki article for that is specific to children, of course. Also, Japan has an article which uses the country name. In Japan, the evacuations seem to be centered around the southern prefectures. Particularly the large islands of Shikoku, Kyushu and Honshu. Yet the article uses the country name. Presumably the evacuations which took place in the Soviet Union were confined to the west of that country. Yet the article uses the name of the country, and not any geographical region or administrative subsets. 4192: 3888: 1267: 2039: 1838: 1766: 5757: 5456: 3537: 1908: 1479: 5860: 31: 2218: 1424: 127: 4111:

I could go into greater detail why naming conventions are important to Vedder's works of the late 1860s (multiple, precisely and individually titled versions of similar works exist), but that's really not relevant.
