It's impossible to have apolitical locales. We don't have one for Palestine as
far as I can see, and our data clearly takes sides in the disputes about
Macedonia and Taiwan (which is probably unavoidable one way or the other).
The lack of a way to encode royal and noble ranks in names could be considered
a political statement as well.
We should move this to libc-alpha if there is anything more to discuss, but it
seems unlikely we will reach agreement, so there is probably no point.
