Re: ''TINationTemplate.en''... Just leaving a note to future editors: As far as I can tell, at least in the case of "England", it seems the game never actually displays the value from <code>TINationTemplate.displayName.GBR=England</code> to the player, and always defaults to <code>TINationTemplate.unionDisplayName.GBR=United Kingdom</code>. The only instance I can find of "England" actually ever being functionally by the game is as an internal alias for the "London" region. | Re: ''TINationTemplate.en''...

A bit odd, but I presume this is just a legacy from earlier in development. Of course, the above concerns are working on the assumption we have a preference to using terminology that reflects the player experience, where relevant. Do let me know if I am mistaken about any of this, but if not, bear in mind I only looked into this one example; there could be others I haven't noticed.

Game File Naming Inconsistency
Re: TINationTemplate.en... Just leaving a note to future editors: As far as I can tell, at least in the case of "England", it seems the game never actually displays the value from TINationTemplate.displayName.GBR=England to the player, and always defaults to TINationTemplate.unionDisplayName.GBR=United Kingdom.

A bit odd, but I presume this is just a legacy from earlier in development. Of course, the above concerns are working on the assumption we have a preference to using terminology that reflects the player experience, where relevant.
