Thank you very much in advance.

You can just create a new nation with that name.

You can change capitalisation, but further change just isn't possible: The game uses the nation's name as its identifier in too many places. The best that you can do is put the "correct" name in your forum sig, or even in your motto.
Or, as your nation is so new, simply create another one to which you give that "correct" name: Having more than one nation at a time is perfectly legal as long as you don't try to have more than one of them as W.A. members.

Fair enough, I merely thought it’s simple as changing the title in database. But since it is not possible to be so easily accessible it’s a shame. Have a nice day.

Nation names are not stored in a database as far as I know.

Any chance that the name "Shan" can be released for use?

It literally says in the OP that the answer is no

How about you let the mods answer the questions addressed to them?

The only criteria it doesn't meet for reuse, as far as I'm aware, is that it didn't CTE five years ago. It's off by a whopping sixty-three days. If I have to wait sixty-three days; fine. But I would like an actual mod to take a look at it and determine for themselves.

I think you just answered your own question: It will be available in 63 days.

The answer was "no" when the site admin wrote the OP a decade ago, and it's been "no" the last 100 times the question has been asked. The answer is plainly written in the first post. No interaction with the mods is remotely necessary. No exceptions.

- Angovia
- Rodova

Some what? Evidence that you haven't read the OP or even the posts directly above yours?

Is it normal for a DEATed forum mod's boneyard page to say "used to be a mod" instead of "disgraced"?
Here's another DEATed ex-mod's boneyard page and it says "disgraced" instead:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=boney ... stephistan

Posted: **Sun Jan 30, 2022 10:21 am**

Stephistan was deleted over 15 years ago when things were simpler. She lacks a marker indicating she was a mod. There are multiple conditions for nation reservation, and I suspect the logic is to use the first one encountered. In Jakker's case, it's mod. In Stephistan's case, it was deletion.

I hope one day the limit is raised to 1 billion. I wouldn't call my nation "Of Significant Size" despite having 800 Million people

That's actually a fairly large size IRL--only two nations have over 1 billion people (India and China), and the US is 700 million or so behind them. I would believe that was the basis for the limit.

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2022 10:42 pm**

I'd suggest Rodovia.

Yeah, though it seems more and more nations are breaking that 1 billion glass ceiling on this site, so eventually 800 mil is going to seem quite tiny. It's the only qualification keeping me from claiming the name Minecraftia from a Former Nation with 800+ million citizens.

Will the normal CTE period not be extended past five years, even for nations with 500-1,000 million inhabitants?

Posted: **Thu Jun 30, 2022 10:25 pm**

so it is going to be some time before the corruption within the game releases my original nations name and stops listing me as "Disgraced" because I took a stand against moderator corruption

Nations deleted for rule breaking (disgraced) are never released.
