It has as such never been a problem before and shouldn't be a problem now. I find it disturbing we have people hunt the game and report things that displeases them without even consulting the actual player.
The title used back then was "Aŭgustana Imperio - Pretoriana Prefektejo de Zardio (Zardugal)". ie. The core name ("Zardugal"/"Zardio") was included in the nation title. However, regardless of whatever was done all that time ago, the fact is the rules now require the core name to be included in the title, so this convention ought to be adhered to. This is quite a reasonable requirement, really, since otherwise we are going to have confusion (possibly to the extent of some players not being able to find the nation they're looking for!).
On the subject of nation renaming, I have just had a browse through the Nation Renaming Guide and noticed there are several erroneous entries. This is far from the first time this has happened, unfortunately. I would really urge both players and Moderators to bear the Nation Renaming Guide in mind whenever a renaming is being proposed, and also to check whether the Nation Renaming Guide needs to be updated when, for example, (a) a Cultural Protocol is altered, (b) a Cultural Protocol is removed and (c) a new Cultural Protocol is installed.
Or if that's too much to ask, then perhaps we should just give up on the Nation Renaming Guide and go back to the original system of letting players have the nation title in whatever language they want.
Anyway, as to the outstanding issues at the moment...
Baltusia's entry should be changed from "Any" to "English", as per its Cultural Protocol.
Barmenia's entry should be changed from "Any" to "Kurdish, Jelbic/Brmek or Aramaic/Syriac", as per its Cultural Protocol.
Kalistan is a more complex case, but I would say the entry should now be changed from "Any" to "English", to reflect the preferences expressed in its current Cultural Protocol ("Party names, national variables and bill titles should be in English"). Please consult the Kalistanis if in any doubt.
Keymon's entry should be changed from "English, Greek, Latin or Greek/Latin mix" to "Any", to reflect the fact it is Culturally Open.
Solentia's entry should be changed from "English" to "Any", to reflect the fact it is Cultural Open.
Telamon's entry should be changed from "Any" to "Icelandic", as per its Cultural Protocol.
You might consider changing Hawu's entry from "Medu Neter" to "English and Medu Neter", given the nation title is currently in English and has, I believe, been in English for much of the time. Medu Neter is not the most accessible language. You could consider consulting with the Hawu players about what they want their entry to be (eg. perhaps they would prefer one or more of the more accessible African languages? I dunno....).

On a more minor and nitpicky issue (gotta keep up my reputation ...), a phantom full stop has appeared following Malivia's recent renaming.
It is not the normal convention to put a full stop at the end, and as can be seen from the renaming bill, this was not requested by the players.
