    Well, because you’d have to put two words in very tiny spaces of the map. Repeating “peace” in Wales seems superfluous, since England is right there. You’ll notice you don’t get béke rewritten in Transilvania, either.

    It just seems like a weird hangup.

    Anyway, moving on here. We’ve derailed the kind, warm, little dorky message of this thread enough.

      I’m not sure why you’d have to repeat the word.

      It just seems like a weird hangup.

      It’s just an unfortunate and misleading trend. But if you’ve ever been to MapPorn on Reddit, then yeah it’s not the most egregious example of those hah.
