It's true that this is to some extent subjective, but I'm afraid that's
the best we can do.
By the way, end users should not need to deal with English-language
strings like "Kiev". Instead, they should be seeing translations like
"Київ", "基辅", and (my favorite) "Kænugarður". These translations are
maintained by CLDR. See:
