If I and another family member, wanted nations here which are both in the UN?
Would the game class it as a multi? Because it wouldn't be would it?
Can someone give an explaination?

Yes, since you are using the same IP address,

That is one of several methods used.

I suggest if you choose to have more than one family member playing you use diffrent computers on diffrent connections. In my house we have one computer on dial-up and one on cable. It just occured to me I could set up a second UN account :twisted:. Nah, I wouldn't do that. Besides the comp isn't working.

But getting back to your query it's understandable as Mods have no way of verifying your story.

I can change my I.P. Address... So couldn't I just change it?

yeah unfortunately you can't change it well easily i think you can but the problem of families is you an anoyying one but the system doesn't make a difference between a family and a u.n cheat so if you use the same computer it will eject you if you try and it will so i wouldn't try

Chances are you're getting confused between private and public IP addresses. I somehow doubt you have a pool of public IPs... chances are, you have a local IP that will be translated to another one to allow communication on the internet

IP addresses is only one method they use to determine multis. Just because there are more than one UN nation on a single IP doesn't mean they'll be deleted. They'll just raise a flag and will be looked into. They have other criteria to determine whether countries are multis or not. I use a computer with another person and we're both in the UN and haven't ever heard anything about it. Although, maybe now that I've mentioned it....
