That's why I didn't speak up against it earlier as it looked to be optional. 
 I just think it is not worth the effort since the random map in the game 
bears little resemblence to the real world geography anyway.  It's like the 
patch which adds national currency names.  Cute, yes.  But IMHO it adds 
little to the game.

To be fair, it is not that much of a big deal as it's not a gameplay issue.  
So if some people like to see it, then why not.  Although it looks like 
Unnecessary Complexity (TM) to me.
