    This assumes that they only ever have the names they have now. Call me crazy, but I suspect that immigration policies will probably shift a little at some point in the next 500 years.

    Hell, I wouldn’t even be willing to bet that any given country would still be around in it’s current form by then, including Japan.

      Generally speaking, I find it a little arrogant to think they can predict what society will be in 500 years.
