What if, instead of having twice as many Scandiwegian countries as it already does, what if the Quality Universe has got a heap of squabbling national governments, who in 1940 are literally at war with each other? These governments and their state departments would be simply NOT adopting their enemies' nomenclature, and making a propaganda point about it. Like calling Myanmar "Burma" on purpose, or leaving Israel off maps of the Middle East. Both of those things happen in the Real World so they could certainly happen in the Q.U.

Pro: This would, at one stroke, account for a half a dozen fake nation names.

Or I could whap out another five or six of those one-sentence Location articles. I'm flexible like that.
