The current situation is that if a nation name meets one of the ten rules, it is not available for reuse. For example, if a nation was deleted for breaking the rules, the name would be reserved even if the population was below 500 million at the time of deletion.
In my opinion, I feel that the current population limit could be replaced by a system where the waiting time increases with the population of the previous incarnation: for example:
- 5 years for nation with 500 million or less
- 6 years for nation with 1 billion
- 8 years for nation with 2 billion
- etc.

The nation might get DEATed in between doing the < WHATVER> and passing the threshold, of course: For example, there's been at least one GA (or was it NSUN?) proposal that had its author DEATed while it was still on the submissions page, although IIRC that one didn't actually pass...Drawkland wrote:I just think it's sorta necessary to up the cap when really anyone could hold a nation name forever based on logging in once after the initial creation. It's weird to me that there's all these other actions that will hold a nation name, but there's no way anybody would be able to achieve those things WITHOUT going over 500 million population. Unless it was an established user making a puppet specifically for that purpose (writing a WA resolution or an issue, for instance) and then immediately logging off and letting it die. People who haven't even unlocked the leader field for their nation yet are significant enough to have their name held forever. It's just a bit strange imo.

Personally, the scale that I'd prefer is:
5 years _ 500 million
6 years _ 600 million
7 years _ 700 million
8 years _ 800 million
9 years _ 900 million
10 years (+) _ 1 billion

First Proposal
- ≥ 750 Million - 3-8 Months

- ≥ 1.5 Billion 1-2 Years
Second Proposal
The timeframe will be based on user activity, e.g. posts, issues answered, card deck, registered email and not just population.
For example, a nation with 500 population, however, answered very little issues. No posts whatsoever, a non-existent deck and no registered email. should hold for about 3 or so months compared to a nation with 2 billion, answered a few hundred issues, has a substantial deck, and a few hundred unique posts, and a registered email which should grant about maybe a year or so.

When so many other conditions protect players rights to their names, there should be some additional value added to the site supporter feature guarding your name, and less protection for someone who played for a few months long ago and has no intention of returning, if they are able to at all.

The site supporter feature already includes permanent name reservation.
For the record, I'm in favour of Bears Armed's suggestion, and I have been since he started floating it around years ago.

Nations which were deleted for rules violations cannot be released. Sorry.
