Nation name release!

[New Hayesalia]

On a quick check, England, Canada and Mexico will apparently be available with this release...

Israel, too.

[Tim-Opolis]

Wait. Would it be a good idea to let some of these names not be allowed.

Examples would be Max Barry and Violet- which are both names that will no doubt be made

[Sedgistan]

See my earlier post about inappropriate names. If people create those, they'll find they get those nations deleted, and a warning attached to their main nation.

[Flibbleites]

So, [violet], does that mean we get the population of our current nation, or do we have to take the population of the nation of the nation we resurrect?

As I understand it, neither. You're creating a new nation, it's just using a name that used to be unavailable.

So you don't inherit the age on the forum?

No, as [violet] said.

I think that nations that have posted on the forum shouldn't be up for release as well....

As mentioned by others, these forums are only two years old, which is well under the five year limit.

In the future, though, it's possible that there will be ex-nations here whose names are re-used. It won't be a problem because the forums, unlike the game, identify accounts by ID number, not name. We may also rename the old nation's forum display name as "(Former) Testlandia" or something.

Oh I see now. No Antiquity for me

[Furry Folk]

No, as [violet] said.

Yes, young grasshopper, one cannot inherit antiquity, one must be there for it.

Could the submitted nation name be part of the URL? Like; nation=Lordieth

Make it much easier to track the name we're after with bookmarking.

Not completely sure what you're after, but the Boneyard does already work like that; e.g.:

http://www.nationstates.net/page=boneya ... n=lordieth

[The Republic of Lanos]

So I guess we can't reserve nation names?

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant, however, if I type the nation name into the form and hit submit, it does not appear in the URL, I just get; http://www.nationstates.net/page=boneyard

I could just create the bookmarks by manually changing the nation name, but it'd be nice to get it in the URL.

[Copenhagen Metropolis]

Shoodn't the incredably childish names be removed?

Such nations as titties, boobies, dickhead, knockers, big boobs, retards, bitch...just immature, childish names.
I, for one, wouldn't like to shout "I'm a titties citizen!

Sounds like a wonderful place to me, but, whatevah

If a released name has its name re-used, and then CTEs due to inactivity, can the owner resurrect the country under standard procedure?

I approve this proposal for the record.

For the record, it's not a proposal. This is actually happening.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Another question people may be wondering is whether there will be a pre-launch name reservation system.

Do you mean the original owner or the re-user? In the case of the former, no. In the case of the latter, yes, at least, I presume so. Can't say for sure, of course.

[Miley World]

I fink this is an old nation I created:

•Deleted nation Jennyland
Founded: Antiquity
Last activity: Mon Feb 10 2003
Population: 281 million
Reserved: This name was used by a former nation of significant size.

I'm not sure why I left, I fink the role play wasn't like it is today and I was a bit bored. Then I forgot about NS until 2 weeks ago.

In fact, as it turns out, all names relating to the groin area are available for use!

They'll be castrated as soon as we see them.

I take it that it would be a similar hassle to outlaw the use of those names?

They're already outlawed under the obscene clause of the rules. Seriously, let's not complicate stuff. If it's to do with your wee wee or your flowers, don't choose it.

[The Republic of Lanos]

Flowers?

What kinky shit happened before the mods came around?

If someone has a mindset like my IRL one, they'll make "The Naked Lands of Titties" as soon as possible to show their friends for a cheap lands. And every 5 years, we'll see "The ____ of Titties" return.

Flowers?

You have no idea brother...

[Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuk]

I like this for another reason too, It allows you to research nations that have CTE'd, like their population and stuff. Francos Spain is one that comes to mind that can be researched. (Can't think of others atm)

[South Benson]

As I love using puppet nations... this is a dream come true (acts like a real jerk ).
But seriously, I have been awaiting this so long. Thank you Max Barry and program team, for not being unresponsive like the admins of certian other games (which I will not bother to mention for obvious reasons).
