If i18n is not used, I think it makes more sense to use national names
for all three.  Among Freeciv users, those with English as their mother
tongue are a minority.  So Anglicised names probably won't make
much more sense to most users than the names used in the country
itself.

If i18n is applied, then I think it should be applied to all three.
