Considering that we can begin our sims in 1917 I'd say we should keep those historical cities (and maybe add some), at least how they were in 1917. It would not make sense to have a Russian-born player in 1917 and list his date of birth as "Leningrad" since it was known as St. Petersburg then. Likewise, Constantinople ("Konstantinopolis") should be an option (if it isn't already) since that was the name of the city until 1930, when it officially became Istanbul.

I'm pretty good with geography so, JeffR, if you need help fixing the database, let me know.
