No nation pretitle

[Maritime States]

Is it at all possible for there to be an option for having no national pre-title. Many countries IRL had no pretitle, such as Hungary, Ukraine, as well as others. Anyway, is it at all possible for there to be an option for no pretitle?

[British Berwick]

It's impossible. All nations MUST choose the pretitle.

Nations with populations over 500 million can write their own pretitle.

I've seen players use a single period in theirs. Not quite blank, but damn close.

Would the game allow an invisible character to be used? Or would it reject it?

[Academi]

Just say 'The country of _____'

Reject it i believe

[Frisbeeteria]

No matter what you do, "The" <pretitle> "of" <nation> is hard coded. Unless you want "The . of <nation>", you're stuck with something in there.

I'd go with "untitled nation" if I were you.

[Mallorea and Riva]

Rejected, the game does not allow unusual characters. Minimum of three characters as well.

And then there's that.

Just say 'The country of _____'

I think this is the most viable solution.

Is there a way to prevent automatic capitalisation so that it becomes as close to a phrase as possible?

[Frisbeeteria]

Unlikely. It's Title Case for everyone or no one, and I don't think building a toggle is worth the effort.

I tried using invisible characters but the game does not allow for it, and it has a three character minimum.

[Powarship]

I'm dissatisfied with the current pretitle system.

An example of countries in the real world allowed in NationStates:
Commonwealth of Australia (shortly, Australia)

An example of countries in the real world ROUGHLY allowed in NationStates:
Kingdom of the Netherlands (shortly, (the) Netherlands) [in NationStates: "Kingdom of The Netherlands" or "Kingdom of Netherlands"]

Examples of countries in the real world not allowed in NationStates:
Japan (currently it doesn't have its own pretitle after WWII)
(the) French Republic (shortly, France)

[Holaloperho]

Since some country in real world put their classification first, I am wondering will it be possible to do so in here
For example, instead of " The commonwealth of Holaloperho", will it be alright to make it become "Holaloperho commonwealth"?

[Riemstagrad]

thing is that for practical reasons, we are limited to a fixed name that is also the unique identifier for the nation in all cases and everywhere in the game.


changing the words 'the' and 'of' and the pretitle itself are no problem i think, but abolishing pretitle or switching them around will cause great confusion because it gives a lot more possibilities to make fake 'copies' of other player's nations.
