But you're right, it might be some discord... since the "ujo" isn't respected... For fun I googled one of Lernu's thread

» Tempodivalse: Who is saying that -uj- is racist? This is new to me.

In my opinion it'd be best to use their native names and integrate them into Esperanto's orthography and grammar. Finland would become "Suomio" and Poland would be called Polsko. The USSR could just be translated literally into "Unio de Socialista Sovejetrespublikoj". Though "Sovjets" where people in councils, so if you completely translate it, that would become "Konsilrespublikoj".
The origins of most geographical names are shrouded in history, literal translations always raise the question how far you want to go back.
F.e. Indonesia is officially Indonezio in Esperanto. The name is Greek and literally it means "Indian islands" aka Hindia Insuloj. But then again, why's India called India? It's Greek, too, and means "Land of the Indus" - Indus is a very long and important river on the Indian subcontinent -, so those island nation's Esperanto name would again change, this time into "Hinduslanda Insuloj". But then again, but does "Indus" mean? Again, it's from Greek (my favourite language after Esperanto), but only a Hellenized version of the Sanskrit word "sindhu", and this means just "river" in the Sanskrit language. So Indonesia would be called "La Riverlanda Insuloj".

Ĉiu legante vorton Indonezio rekonos kiu lando estas, sed pri La Riverlandaj Insuloj pensos kie tio estas?
Mi ne pensus pri Indonezio, tie ne estas grandaj riveroj.
