I don't think he is seriously suggesting "giving back" Sydney and Melbourne 
to the English.  He is just trying to show how silly and pointless this 
whole argument really is (right Darth? :-).  There is absolutely nothing 
wrong with duplicate city names.  Can we please get past this and move on?
But seriously, there is currently a limit of 63 nations in the nations 
ruleset.  And it seems we will run into it much sooner than the original 
author expected.  We can either raise the limit (or get rid of it 
altogether), or we will need some criteria to determine which nations to 
include sooner or later.  But at the moment there is nothing wrong with the 
nations we already have.  And did I mention that there is absolutely nothing 
wrong with those duplicate city names?
This time I am pretty sure it was not just me.

Mike
