I prefer Koyanisqaatsi's approach to naming. "Afghanistan history" looks
odd
to me because it should be "Afghan history"; when we get to the F's,
I'll want
"French geography," not "France geography." This doesn't apply for
every
possibility: "United States government" is correct, for example.
The other, broader question to consider is whether we want a stack of small
pages for history, geography, etc. of each country: "history" probably,
geography
might well go better as a paragraph or two in the article on "Afghanistan." At
least if we're still working with CIA World Factbook data--a good, long,
detailed
article could be written (by someone more up on the area than I) about the
geography of Afghanistan, and how that has affected its history, politics,
and culture.
