Actually I am probably in favour of the principle of most surprise. Let
people find out about stuff they dont know about. If we put Georgia the
country at Georgia, people might get interested in a country with a
cuisine based around pomegranates and walnuts. They can speculate as
to why Jethro Tull named themselves after an agriculturalist, and
learn about the lesser known [[Claude Lévi-Strauss]].
