Yep, it seems nobody wants them. I got Hampshire and Dorset, both of which were just lying around. But those are the only two names I like, so I didn't touch the others. :)

Got a load of them saved as well as when they come up.

I grabbed 6 or so a couple of days ago, including Cambridgeshire and Gwent.

You can't grab it, so I'm safe showing it around, but can someone explain the results for 'Death'?

Now, from what I've seen, the second list there is the original 'Death', who would have been founded in antiquity, and would have been let off under the NNRP. However, how did the second nation refound it in 2005? Surely this was before the NNRP, and so impossible due to the restrictions being lifted currently.

Secondly, under current rules, nations that have been used for just over a month are banned from the program due to size, so I think that restriction can, eventually, come right up.

It was explained earlier. There was a previous name release but it was stopped.

I've added my first London Borough to my nation collection. When it gets to 500m I will then be able to change the pretitle to London Borough. ;)

I believe it's three months the games gift to you of sticking around for a while. While I'm not completely positive on what population It's near.

It's 500m for a custom pre-title, which takes around 3 months of pop growth.

My nation is "the Free Republic of Bruteland," but the WA says I'm a dictatorship!

You can call your nation whatever you like, but it doesn't make it true. The WA categorizes nations based on their laws, not their names. Changing your name from "Dictatorship" to "Republic" (or anything else) has cosmetic value only.


Welcome back Bruteland. The only other nation (apart from Testlandia )explicity mentioned in the FAQ. LEt's hope they won't change it because of this..

How about the following change to the rules of this game:
For each boneyard lookup of a name, the release time of that nation is postponed by 1 second.

That would be an interesting twist :D

This name was just sitting, even though it became available several hours before. I was surprised as well. 8)
