Why must names begin with a capital letter?

I intended that my nation be called wYrd-ness, but it automatically changed this to WYrd-ness which doesn't look nearly as good.

Also, while I'm here: in the list of UN Proposals, what order are they in? I would have expected the ones with most approvals received to come first.

I'm guessing they are put in order at the update so when they receive new approvals they don't move. Is this right or have I missed the mark completely?

Nationnames are probably capitalized because that's the way Max set it up when he wrote it. It's fine for most people.

Proposals are simply chronological, based on when they were submitted. The newest one goes to the back of the list. They stay in order, moving forward as the previous batches are removed. After they have been up for three or four days (it depends on submission time), anything that hasn't reached queue is removed at update. Everything else moves to the front of the list.
