Well, JAPAN is literally called JAPAN in the original Japanese. By calling it Nippon in the localization, the joke is reversed (the Japan equivalent uses the English pronounciation in Japanese and the Japanese pronounciation in English). It's hard to get used to, but it actually maintains the joke whereas keeping it as JAPAN in English completely nullifies it.
