Name Change

Due to a typo on registration, and since the forums were down at the time I submitted a request get my name changed to Fuer Grissa Ost Drauka.

Response: Nation names, as used internally by NationStates, are unique identifiers. They can't be changed without the risk of bringing down the whole server. Your nation is young, anyway. Just start over and create a new nation with the correct spelling.

Since I really don't feel like starting over, is there a webmaster or someone I could contact that has the ability to add ka to the end of my nation identifier? Since I'm a Web Designer myself, I realize it'll probably require going into the database and usually 9/10 times the risk and time required are nill.

Thanks

That bit you quoted is pretty accurate and also probably final. There is absolutely no reason to not start over; you're only a couple days old and it wouldn't set you back any.

Nope, sorry. Due to the way that NS is built this has a very high risk and time factor. I just recommend refounding.

Wasn't the quote reason enough to understand the consequences?
