Spotlight on wrong nation (and another bug)

Whenever I try to view the page for the newly founded nation Oekkai at:

http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=oekkai

...it instead shows me the page of the nation with which I'm currently logged in.

I've also noticed another (presumably) unrelated bug - sometimes a new nation is listed as being founded in more than one of the Pacifics (and before you ask, I have checked that it's not just a similarly named nation).

[edit #1: mentioned that nation was new]

I think that means that the nation "Oekkai" no longer exists. It happened to me when I clicked on the page for Commando2, for example. About the multiple foundings...yeah, that must be just a bug.

But the nation was only just founded, and I thought that the nation name didn't become a link until after the nation's page has been created (as you often see newly founded nations whose names aren't links).

Er...."Oekkai" was created as a puppet of the nation "Oekai" which was forumbanned for two weeks for flaming, trolling, and lots of other good stuff; the new nation continued to post on the forum and got DEAT'd by the mods, IIRC. <checks mod forum>

The nation had only been founded '1 minute ago' when I clicked on the link. That must be some kind of record time for deletion...

My personal best is "Seconds ago ..."

That must have been a really recognizable nation (like "Commando9" or something...) or a nation that, as soon as it was created, posted links to censored or censored on the messageboard.... :eek:
