When a ''widely accepted English name'', exists for a former country or empire, we should use it. For example, [[New Spain|New Spain]] rather than ''Virreinato de Nueva España'', [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman Empire]] rather than دولتْ علیّه عثمانیّه or ''Osmanlı İmparatorluğu''. | When a ''widely accepted English name'', exists for a former country or empire, we should use it.

:I agree. It might be nice to show the country name in the native language(s) within the body of the article. Wikipedia does this as can be see with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain Spain] (example). I believe this allows searching to find either.
