According to the 1995 CIA World Factbook, the current name of Upper Volta is Burkina Faso, or Burkina for short. The capital is Ouagadougou. The country digraph is still UV.

Upper Volta went through something of a name-change and restructuring a few years back, and that's the new name(s). I don't know if that'll solve your code search problems, but I thought it might be of some use.
