Settings titles are just names and affect nothing other than when the specific thing is mentioned in an issue. The program isn't smart enough to know what you want by what you type in those fields and I doubt that that will ever become a thing due to the waste of resources that would be.

Issues affect your nation, so just decide it that way.
