It could be because countries often have town or cities with the names of other towns or cities from different countries. Like for instance: there's a town/city in the US called Moscow in both the states of Idaho and Pennsylvania.
There's a place in the UK called "Bishop Auckland" but none just called "Auckland". I know because I live in Auckland and had a package shipped to Bishop Auckland in horrific mess of an attempt to deliver to me once.
Also Montreal is in Canada and France, just for another real-world example (which I don't think is reflected in the game)
