From what I remember, as I worked on the name database (Canadian and French Canadian) for OOTP 2006, there were two problems with the names of countries such as Cambodia:

1. We didn't have time to look for data for every single country in the world.
2. Those we did look for were frequently non-exhaustive. If you're going to have 50 last names for Mongolia, well, it'll suck to have a Mongolian league, because the redundant name "bug" would clearly appear in there.

That said, Mongolians have amazing names, perhaps we should investigate further.
