Who do I ask to get my nations name changed? :)

You can't, once you create a nation with whatever name you might choose, that name is forever with that nation.

You can, however, create another nation :D

This question has been in the Tech Forum FAQ from the beginning. This is the first time I've seen it asked since I created it though, so I guess that I shouldn't feel too bad. . .

Unless you mean to change the part before your name, like "The Republic of" which you can do by going to settings and selecting a new one from the drop down list, or if your population is more than 500 million you can put in your own.

I saw things like Aristocracy Republic, as I get farther into the game will those things open up?

Yeah. Once you hit 500 million the drop down box with your nation prefix changes to a text input box.

One that won't accept non-alpha-numeric charecters, though. Like ' and ,.

I'll stick with the "People's Republic" until I can go back to it :P (or did this get fixed? It shouldn't be that hard to allow 's at least)

I think it got fixed...let me test it.

FOLLOWING THE TEST: Apostrophies work, commas and periods don't.

I think apostrophes are allowed now

I think changing the nation name should be an option, but it would be like

The Republic of Whatever
Formerly Whoever

And you can only change like twice a month so we woulden't have this

The Republic of Whatever
Formerly Whoever
Formerly However
Formerly Bullcrap
Formerly Youmom
Formerly Ect
Formerly you asshole
ect
ect
ect
ect
