Only thing about that is the Morek variations never had an issue with the Chinese themed naming. They integrated the names well into their cultural structure, taking them as more or less artifacts of native names.
What's wrong about that anyway? Sure, many times the immigrants give their native language's names to the regions. But on a more practical level, what is wrong about the region names indicating native culture? I think it only reinforces the fact that you are not the first one here, that you should not be so arrogant as to try to impose your own names on regions that might very well have been inhabited long before you, with kingdoms that rose and fell far more times than your mere history. RP value. You could theoretically do it with strictly European styled naming, but for some people, some names can be just as exotic, and would still not make much difference than a Chinese-themed name. I mean, try Gaelic names, or Russian names. Maybe we'll add Greek names and make people have a bunch of Spartans running around? Or let's put in Latin because hey, the Vatican actually uses that and as we all know they were pretty heavy hitters in the Middle Ages.
