I disagree.

But England has been around a lot longer than 500 years!

It doesn't really matter what nations get in. So what, that there are
ancient civilisations in the same game as modern civilizations. It doesn't
matter : it is only a game, and the city names are anachronistic anyway.

I don't really see anything wrong even with having Italians and Romans
as different nations, although I would probably draw the line at having
both Soviets and Russians, or putting in the European Union.

At the bottom line, freeciv is about fun, not historical accuracy.
