Throughout my short but eventful few months on nation states, I have noticed that many real nations both existing, and lost to the history of the world, as well as fictitious nations have been either disgraced by bad apples, or pointlessly reserved by individuals who have long since abandoned nation states for half a decade or more.
And as a result of this, I and thousands of other nations have been forced into an era of increased creativity when inventing new nations revolving around specific themes or ideologies , or real nation inspirations, and for those adamant about what they want have had to get around those predicament by adding pretitles and classifications to their nation names that may be entirely unnecessary or contradictory even to their nation itself. A little creativity never hurt anyone and that isn't the subject of this post, but there's only so many names to be thought up and put into circulation, and as a result, eventually people will run out of good names to employ.
Which is why I'm suggesting that all disgraced nation names be released for general use, and all reserved nation names that have been inactive for 6 years or longer be released as well. This is just a suggestion and in my personal opinion would make things a lot better, for new or veteran active players of NS who would keep good names to active and good use.
