Notes
  1. Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic replaced Czechoslovakia in the World Group.[3]
  2. Russia took over the place in the World Group gained by the CIS in the 1992 Davis Cup.[4]
gollark: I mean, I can, but it would be nice to have.
gollark: Can't wait for automatic summarization via language models to be commonplace.
gollark: Why's that?
gollark: The hard part is just converting all your content to simple factual things.
