Nation name

So I went to sign up for a nation. I decided to use the name Tasnica, my favorite kingdom from Secret of Mana, but it told me that it was taken. So instead, I used Mantango, also from Secret of Mana. Later, I wanted to look up Tasnica to see how it was doing. I busted in and out of frames (I was trying to count how many years they have been deprecated by the W3C, but I ran out of fingers...) and finally found the format for a link that I could use to look it up, but everytime, it took me to my Mantango nation. If I looked up other nations, I would be taken to the correct page. Why is Tasnica linked to my nation, and why did it tell me it was taken before? Can I rename my nation to Tasnica now?

Whenever one tries to look up a nation that does not exist, one sees their own nation instead. Yes, a nice error message would be more user friendly, but that's not what the system does right now.

Tasnica is apparently a former nation, the names of which remain reserved.
