(...in my humble opinion, of course)
Overview
This is a small mod which changes a few country and sea entries in the game mostly for my own pleasure (i.e. there's no pretense of total consistency, or of having a map completely renamed with "correct" entries etc.).
The most notable change is with the name of important political actors during the game's timeframe - namely, the Holy Roman Empire, the Papacy, and the Byzantine Empire. All these names sounded too soulless to me (just like I thought, back then, that English names for Popes were immersion breaking), so I decided to change them to their Latin and Greek versions, respectively.
I've also changed a few other names around the map, mostly in Italy (probably because I live there) but even in some other places. In a couple of instances, I've simply corrected spelling errors (e.g. Forli->Forlì).

Installation
Simply download, extract and copy the content of this .rar file into your ...\My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod\ directory and check it in the launcher before you start the game.
Slightly more immersive localisation
The mod is updated for the latest CK2 patch (2.6.2) and should be Ironman-friendly as it doesn't alter the checksum.
Hope you'll like it - have fun!
Some screenshots (please note that the alternate font I'm using is not included in the mod, as it's not something I've done myself):
