I do agree that it should be latin without any accents, but again I'm ok with calling Georgia Sakartvelo, China Zhongguo, etc.

I mean, I'm fine with that if that's what they want to register as their official UN English-language names, but so far, they haven't requested that.

"Sakartvelo" would avoid people in the US always clarifying whether it's "Georgia the state" or "Georgia the country", which would be kind of convenient, actually.
