How nation name change could work

Postby The Independent Frontier » Sun Feb 10, 2019 5:41 pm

Since the main hurdle in changing nation names seems to be that each nation's name works as an ID/Username, what if the current ID/Username remained the same and was not changeable, but the visible name in the nation's page could be edited as long as it is available?
I'm sure that this has been thought of before and there's probably an issue with doing this, but I really want to change my nation's name.

It's been brought up. The problem with the "display name" idea, if I remember correctly, is the possibility of impersonating another nation. Trying to regulate display names to prevent that is probably not a headache that the mods want.

If you want a different name, make a new nation.
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

Well it's either the name or your stats. Factbooks can be copied
