There is a slight bug in what is allowed to be posted.

Posting "Заставь дурака Богу молится, так он себе и лоб расшибёт." in the regional "Civil Headquarters" results in no problems.

However, posting "Пролетарии всех стран, соединяйтесь!"

To prevent format-breaking spam, you cannot post a message conta ining an extremely long word. Please insert a space or two into your long word and try again.

In addition any attempt to use Cyrillic script in the motto results in:

Your slogan is too long.

If you look at the source code of this very post, you'll see the following HTML interpretation. (I've changed & to @ to allow display)

As you can see, each Cyrillic character viewed in HTML uses not one space, but seven. ( ?? = & #1041;& #1086; ) As such, it's almost impossible to display such text in the space limits we provide.

It's not a bug with NationStates, it's a feature of HTML.

I was not aware of the properties of electronic Cyrillic script. For the issue of the Civil Headquarters posts, what is the limit of characters that may be together without a break?
