I am not sure: Do you want to replace rhe lowzoom levels at osm.org?
I think the lowzoom levels at osm.org look very bland and my approach attempts to fix that, trying not to be a cartographically solid map (for that, MapQuest has done an excellent job I think) but instead highlighting where OSM has data and where it hasn't.
I don't have a particular agenda about replacing the lowzoom tiles on osm.org; if someone wants me to install my process on the OSM tile server I can do that but if most people are happy with what we've got then I have no problem with that.
At present the shown names seem to be taken from the place tag.

The first priority for rendering could be the admin level.
Certainly an idea worth pursuing, however some magic would have to be applied to match place tags (usually nodes - they will have a population or capital tag) with admininistrative boundaries (that have an admin level but neither "capital" nor population info).
