Questions about Nations that CTE

[Chainsington]

If you don't log in to a nation for 28 days and it ceases to exist, does it prevent you from creating a new nation with the same email/username after that, or does it let you create a new nation with the same criteria but a different name?

If it does prevent you, can you use an alternate email to create a new nation?

Otherwise, I think that's all I need to know. I highly appreciate the help.

Nation names, once created, are locked in for five years minimum. You cannot create a new nation with that name unless the Nation Name Release criteria are met.

Email addresses are irrelevant to your question. You can use the same email address on multiple nations, or a different email on each nation. There is no cross-checking on nation name / email combinations. We do recommend that you use the same email address on all your NS nations, as this will prevent accidental WA multiing. The game engine won't allow two simultaneous WA memberships on the same email.

To add on to what Fris said, if your nation ceases to exist due to inactivity (though if it's mod-deleted, this is not the case), you can log into it again and it will be restored with the same population, settings, etc. as you left off with.

There is also a Vacation Mode in the settings section. At the loss of receiving new issues you gain an extension to the CTE date (60 days instead of the normal 28 days.)

Sorry to highjack this thread, but I find it close to my question.

Do we automatically lose WA membership when we CTE? I don't remember withdrawing from WA but I CTE'd for about 2 hours last week. I just realized today that I am no longer a WA member. I have countless of puppets so I don't really want to reapply until I am sure I do the right thing. It's the second time I CTE'd while in WA and the first one was more than a year ago (approximately) so I don't really remember much of that.

Thanks in advance!

Yes.
At least if there's an update while the nation is CTEd. I'm not sure about short intervals between updates, but those are enough to re-set the 'Residency' counter so evidently the game notices them...

At least if there's an update while the nation is CTEd. I'm not sure about short intervals between updates,

Normal national CTEs occur by-definition during updates. WA membership is stripped as part of the CTE process. Even if you revived it seconds later, you'd have to reapply to rejoin.

The only exceptions to update-timed CTEs are mod-deleted nations, which are of course not eligible for restoration, and therefore unable to rejoin.
