1. The nation who was compromised and got my telegrams exposed publicly, is that nation dead now, or alive now?
2. Moreso, I really just want to know what telegrams those actually were. In our region (Illuminati) it is not uncommon to share phone numbers, actual addresses, emails, etc as a large lot of us interact and meet outside of NS as well in yearly meet ups. Can I be privately informed of which specific telegrams were exposed?
3. What measures will be taken in the future to prevent this sort of thing from happening again?

I have these same questions, since I had a TG leaked.

Yes, if the Data Leak Checker tool finds anything untoward, you are instructed to contact us for further assistance. There we will answer any questions you have, including showing you exactly what was exposed.

I'm surprised I wasn't affected, considering how much of my personal info I put on this site. I think that even if my info was leaked, no one would do anything with it. Who would want to be me?
There's not a lot that someone could do if they did get the leaked data, really. But in a worst-case scenario, it could cause problems.
For example:
-Player A uses the same password for their NS account and the email account they put on their NS nation. BadGuy gets the password hash, and because Player A uses a weak password, BadGuy is able to crack it and get into Player A's email account where any number of shenanigans can then ensue.
Or:
-Player B uses the same password/email combination on their NS account that they do on their banking website. BadGuy gets the password hash and given sufficient time manages to crack it and use it to get into the banking website account.
Scenarios like that aren't likely, granted, but it's still better that folks are aware. Also, the moral of the story: Don't use the same password you use for NS for anything important like yer banking stuff!

I don't forsee it being too extensive a 'fix' to put people at ease, but I don't know how big the mountains of data being shifted are.

This check wouldn't have detected the corruption, because the original dump was fine. It was only when the file was copied to backup that it became corrupted.

Namely, considering these leaks nominally occurred when the drive went belly-up last September, and thus the leaks were likely to have occurred between September and October of 2014, am I wrong to assume that many of those affected by the data leaks would likely have already felt its effects if (and that's a pretty big "if") the leaked information was going to be used for malicious purposes?
In short, considering the discovery was made yesterday, but the leak itself occurred sometime in the last quarter (or so) of 2014, is it presumptive to assume that any potential malicious activity caused as a result would already have impacted users - if they were going to feel an impact (such as a hacked account, etc.) at all?
Much appreciated.

Even if people aren't impacted by this (Thanks for the Data Leak Checker, by the way; that was exceptionally helpful - even for the vast majority of us who only see the pretty green box saying we're effectively safe.), it does serve, I feel at least, as a good lesson to keep up-to-date with your regular password changes and the like.
