Also nothing above 1 billion should be reused. Ever.

And we should keep tens of thousands of names unavailable for the tiny group of people who might possibly come back?

That would just be pushing the problem down the road. As a wise person once said:Flanderlion wrote:I don't think this should be a priority. At some distant point the reuse policy should be updated:
Instead of 5 years under X population, it should be 5 + number of billion population years. So if I have a 1 billion pop nation that CTEs, someone can refound it 6 years later, but if I had a 20 billion pop nation it should be 25 years later. Essentially it's approximately 5 years + double the time the nation has been alive.

This is to say, I think there should be an option to delete one's nation. Would this be a full fix? No. But if it were possible (keep in mind I'm definitely no code expert), then if a user deleted their nation below 500 million population, it would automatically go back into the naming pool, and I would think if a nation was bigger than that, that person could choose whether they wanted to add their nation name back to the pool.
This would not solve the problem of nations that are 18 years old laying abandoned forever, but it could at least help to solve the problem in the future, especially because it would also solve a couple of other issues I've always had with the way NS runs. Take me for instance, atm I have a puppet region with somewhere around 450 puppets. Many of those puppets have reached the point where their names would forever be held, which is a problem because at this point I'm honestly starting to let all those puppets die and I feel rather bad letting them die and stealing their names forever. I would much prefer to just be able to delete them all and allow others to use those names in the future. In addition, this would also mean that one wouldn't be bombarded with "about to CTE!" emails every time a set of puppets dies because they would just be able to delete them.
I also thought about how this might mean that if somebody hacked your nation, they would be able to instantly delete it, but I also don't see how that couldn't be solved the same way current hacks could be so I figured that shouldn't be an issue afaik. I also have no idea how that would or wouldn't work with the nation id system or with cards or with really most of the actual code on NS, so if this is an impossible idea, I apologize for taking ya'll's time.
I know this wouldn't be a perfect fix, but what do ya'll think?

Yes let's give new players even less reasons to play this game! It'll be great for our longevity!
If someone new gets so annoyed by the fact that they can't get the exact name they want and it makes them leave then that's entirely on them. And the site seems to have done just fine so far in terms of longevity by not letting people have whatever name they want.

I mean shit the game was also had no problems with gaining players before the name reuse feature was even put into place.
