Would a script that changed a nation's password be illegal?
Would a script that changed a nation's flag be illegal?
Motto?
A nation that I controlled, to be more precise.
The change would be done every time I pressed a button.

How about editing a dispatch?

As long as you stick to the OP's suggested 'one click one action', then editing a dispatch is fine. Note that since edited dispatches go out in the NS world beyond your own nation, editing them is a restricted action! So you may not have a stand-alone script running which edits dispatches of multiple nations, or does so on its own accord without user interaction.

EDIT: So sorry, I made a terrible mistake here. Editing a dispatch is of course rate-limited per usual, but it is not a Restricted Action. Hence: legal as well.

Wait, why not multiple nations? If I own all nations involved, wouldn't they all be "my own nation"? How do dispatches affect the game world outside of the page that shows the dispatch? If the title/category is the problem, then would changing the dispatch body, without changing anything else, be okay? Just wondering.

Would a script that changes all of the customizable fields of a nation I control be illegal?

Would a script that changes a region's password every time I click a button be illegal?

Changing customizable fields is fine. Changing a regional password is not, because it generates a happenings line on the region's page.

If it is with a click of a button, it would be legal.

Hmm. Would filing a GHR be a restricted action?
