The names of regions and cities come directly from MaxMind[1], our GeoIP service. Some of our localizers provided localized names to replace the phonetic translations, so Russia, France, and Ireland see the real city names.

All of our localization is done by volunteers, so please feel free to contact me if you'd like to get involved.
