Creating a new nation?

I'm trying to create a new nation called Ni. I've searched for a nation called Ni, and NS can't find any, so I should be fine. However, in the Create-a-Nation link, when I check name availability, it says that Ni is taken. Once I enter all of the information and click Continue, it takes me back to the starting NS page without giving me any message. What's wrong?

Ni used to be a nation, but has expired. You can't use the name of a dead nation.

Oh, didn't realize that. Thanks.

Any idea why it would just send me back to the main screen rather than giving me an error message that the name was already in use, though?

It's a javascript error. Salusa or Pythagosaurus will probably fix it as soon as one of them tries to create a new nation, which could be in any point between now and Armageddon. :p
