Hi, Jacques.

I don't think you need to worry about exoticism.  Our efforts at being
friendly to non-Europeans will not make LFN less friendly to Europeans.
  In fact, I think many Europeans, especially those of minority
languages and ethnic groups, will find the respect we show others
gratifying!  In the meantime, we can use alternate names when desired
for a few of the very significant countries of the world for which we
have rather dramatically different names:  Xina, India, Japan, Corea,
Egipte.  I am not certain, but I think those are the only ones!

Best wishes,

George
