Any chance Hufaidh can be retrieved from the boneyard?
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Congratulations, Alaska, you're finally old enough to vote!
Perhaps we should begin reconsidering the parameters behind nation name re-releases.

Sure, pornspammers aren't known to be subtle and no one would miss those names being not available for use, but what about adbots? Do they get the same treatment, or are they flushed out completely and their names being reusable?
I mean, I reckon no one would clamor for "Cweikjfhsd49329" but it would just fulfill my curiosity. Thanks in advance! ^^

Anything that is deleted by a mod is unusable. There's no differentiation on the backend.

I personally think it should be this instead of just a change, as eventually it'll become an issue again.
Change nation name reuse policy
I don't think this should be a priority. At some distant point the reuse policy should be updated:
Instead of 5 years under X population, it should be 5 + number of billion population years. So if I have a 1 billion pop nation that CTEs, someone can refound it 6 years later, but if I had a 20 billion pop nation it should be 25 years later. Essentially it's approximately 5 years + double the time the nation has been alive.
