There is also a nation I wanted to claim which has ceased to exist over 17 years ago and has a population of 554 million. That's just barely over the mark :(

[violet]'s account is one of the few, if not the only, forum-only accounts. There is no nation attached to her forum account. That "Violet" nation was probably deleted to keep anyone from impersonating her.
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

"Deleted" in the boneyard does not necessarily mean "mod-deleted"; if a nation was deleted by a moderator, the response would be "Disgraced: This name was soiled by a former nation." This "deleted" wording was changed to "former" a while ago to clear up confusion like this; the post you're quoting is from 2011.

Population increases by 5-7 million per day, so you should be at 1 billion in approximately two weeks.

1 billion =/= 100 million

He already has 914 million. He just has 86 million left until he reaches 1 billion.

Maybe you could free up some DEATed nations, but start with those that were deleted for being Adbots as not being reserved? Adbots just hog up names.

Hello, wonderful Moderation. I have an inquiry-based on a particular nation. There is a nation that I've wanted to claim but has ceased roughly, 12 years and 32 days ago (24/03/2008) and has a population of 2.715 billion. With the name of "Perpetual Peace" (Link: https://www.nationstates.net/page=boney ... al%20peace). But I am unsure, whether to what Antiquity refers to since there shows no clear founding date at all. If possible, could this player have purchased the Supporter Badge where it permanently reserves that nation name?

Thanks.

The "supporter" badge was not introduced until the tail end of 2012, so there's no possibility of that; besides, if that were the case it would say "Reserved: This name was used by a site supporter."

As for what "Antiquity" means, back in the early days the game itself did not record founding dates. If you joined before they started recording founding dates in late November 2003, you got the date of "Antiquity" instead. Pretty groovy, huh?

Also, "Perpetual-Peace" with a dash is available. Maybe you could use that instead?

Hi Ghost Land,

Thanks for the swift reply, with regards to the information. Although using the dashed line is available, I am still curious on what our wonderful Moderators would offer, relating to the case shown above us with the name of Perpetual Peace, that ceased to exist roughly 12 years ago. If not, then I am more than happy using the Perpetual Peace name with a dashed line as a replacement.

Thanks.

Thanks again, but I wasn't simply asking for special exemption(s), but a mere curiosity of that nation.

If you want information about the nation itself, the best I can give you is captures of the nation page from July and December 2003.

Endraas was the author of Issue #1214 "Blood Type: Gay Positive." As a result, that name should be reserved on the grounds of issues authorship (rather than being re-released into the wild some time around July 2023).

It's scheduled for release already:
"Not Yet Available: This name was used by a former nation that ceased to exist too recently. It may become available in 2 years 81 days."

Sorted on this occasion. However, CTEd nations don't get updated if an issue of their makes it into the game, and it's not something we're going to routinely check for/fix.
