Well, I can see confusion arising from having the English and British in the
same game, even when city names are still chosen to be unique.  ('Caravel
sunk near Manchester?  Where is my Manchester?  Oh wait, it's *his*!')

But I could live with that.  It's fun to see modern and ancient nations
on the same map.  So I'd prefer to have exclusion purely based on
city names: if a nation is chosen, no other nation can be chosen
that shares some of its city names.
