That's when it is possible for a region which updated at the end of the prior update to update next time at the beginning of the update. For a while update order was even randomized so this happened all the time. This cuts it down to closer to 11 hours. Then there are the update errors: an update that is started an hour or more later than it was supposed to. Or back in the old days... an update which lasted close to 24 hours and had to be killed off because the next one was about to start (updates were 24 hours apart back then).

While browsing the internet archive I came across an early edition of NS, and even though the nation creation function didn't quite work, I could still fill out the form. There were some other categories for the country I can't remember, but you could call your nation the Free Republic of @@NAME@@. Any reason why it's not here anymore?

Do you haver a link for that? I cannot find any reference to "Free Republic" in our codebase history. Perhaps it was from a time before the current NS code versioning log (March 2004).

No Free Republic actually, must have been thinking of something else. But there are two categories that aren't here now, Sultanate and Holy Republic. Any idea why?

Sultanate is still an active category, it's in the list.
On May 15, 2009, "Holy Republic" was removed and both "Matriarchy" and "United Kingdom" were added to the list.
No record was made as to why, but a likely reason is overlap with "Holy Empire" and simply "Republic".
