A while ago my nation was deleted for a reason unknown I managed to get it back by using the form
Now I am just wondering when was my nation actually created all I have is the date it was ressurected
Not important just wondering.

It was probably deleted for inactivity. If you can remember when you last logged in, just count on 28 days.

I don't particuarly care why it was deleted (although it wasn't due to inactivity I remember it had been 4 days since I had last been active) I got it back so I'm happy.
but Just wondering the true creation date cause it certainly wasn't august

When you register, nationstates main page sends a cookie to the forums signing you up there automatically. You recieve a registration number, lets say its A38t9S4. Now when you are deleted, that number goes back into the pool, so most likely, the next nation created gets your number. When you are revived, you get an entirely new number, therefore, an entirely new date because the date is encrypted into the number.

That is correct. The only modification is that creation date is now being recorded, but it is only as of the last month or so.

I noted the same problem, if anyone cares. Shouldn't there be more information on resurrecting nations in the various help/problem FAQs? I didn't find any scanning through them after rediscovering NS, and the only way I knew about it was through one of my regionmates (or should I say regionnaires? ;)) informing me...

It is mentioned in the Tech Forum FAQ.
