Now some say that it would be a point of Honour and Politeness to call all  countries be the names that   they use themselves.

What do you think about it?
As an example:
May we say Hungary, or must we say Magyarország, the way the country calls itself?

Correct me if I am wrong, but the white west pronounces "Japan" "Japan" but isn't the native pronunciation "Nippon"?
