I would not rename the indigenic civilizations of America, nor would I rename Babylon or other for that matter any civilization that vanished. They ceased to exist and thats it. What came after them, was no heir to the vanished civs but a new civilization.
The Incans did NOT change to Peru. We happen to call Peru Peru because a new people in that area chose that name as name for their nation.
The Mayans did NOT become Mexicans. A spanish colony became Mexico.
The Babylonians did NOT become the Caliphate of Bagdad or Iraq or whatever. As far as I know, this area was conquered a gazillion times until the Iraq emerged.
It is different with other factions: The HRE did eventually become Germany, so that is more or less correct. England did eventually become Great Britain and Castile did become Spain.
What I want to say: Simply renaming the factions to their modern day geographically inspired names would be wrong. Some factions simply have no dynamic name because they died long before the respective era.
