Pinpointing the date of a globe

Its possible I can narrow it down further, due to there being no red box in the Pacific for the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. That puts it at 1986 or later.

I've found this wikipedia page, which is precisely the list of "things I have to check" for this investigation.
It allowed me to raise the lower bound to be definitely 1984, and I doubt we can then get more precise than 1984-1990. Still, maybe I missed something, so better answers are welcome.
Useful data
- Ouagadougou's nation is called Burkina (yes, they forgot the "Faso") instead of Alto Volta: 1984-current
- Brunei is independent: 1984-current
Unreliable
- We have Burma and Rangoon: it would make an upper-bound of 1989, but this is likely just a political or localisation problem (map is in Italian)
- I'd just ignore Cambodia: it's too complex, and it might have localisation problems anyway
No info
- Micronesia's capital (it changed in 1989) is not present
