I've only been on for a few weeks, but I already see a big problem. When searching for a nation or region you have to manually click through all of the pages to get anywhere. If nothing elses, an alphabetical listing that allowed you to jump to the begining of the letter would greatly increase ease of manual searches. Just a thought.

Often suggested, technically impossible the way the game is structured. Sorry.

There is an alternative. Move your nation search out of the main frameset. (Shift-click on List all nations (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/19751/page=list_nations)). Once there, advance to Page 2 to bring up this URL http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=list_nations/start=15By manually changing the /start=### number, you can advance thousands of nations instantly. A little judicial guesswork will get you into the right neighborhood in 3 or 4 guesses, and then you can advance the page numbers manually to find what you seek.
