I can't honestly see how Dumb Ideologies leaving due to a couple of mods' views on what counts as obscene equates particularly well with "why won't the mods allow us to pick new names?".

Mods, can you change my nation name for me?
First off, this is a Mod Forum question, for all that I see it in Tech, secondly, no, they can not. They used to be, but it caused all kinds of problems so that [violet] disabled it.

Legitimate in-game reason for allowing name changes, provided the application of such a system is practical:
Actual real-world nations change names all the time. Why shouldn't the NS system reflect that? No, NS is not trying to actually be a perfect real-world analog. But it would make for more interesting gameplay (and isn't NS really about the gameplay?)

No it doesn't. The site's architecture makes this hard to do. It's about the same reason you can't just change your e-mail address and suddenly have everybody start using your new one. We'd have to change references to your nation all over the place, such as other people's telegrams, RMB messages, dossiers, forum accounts, the WA, some mod tools, and password recovery. And you'd have to change your name to something nobody has ever used before, or else you run into all the problems involved in releasing old nation names, too (which [violet] does plan to do, I'm fairly sure).
Yes, we could set up a redirect, like you would with a new e-mail address, but that would still require coding, and I'd still expect some bugs to pop up in some of the aforementioned areas.
