What happens when a Region Founder dies?

I have been running states on NS for a long time, several years on and off. However, I started a region a couple of years ago with some friends. Due to unforseen circumstances, I have not had regular access to internet and so the regions founder has ceased to be.

My question is therefore; How do you regain control of a region once you die? Do remaining members get to take over or can I have it transfered to a new state?

Cheers in advance

Uh, I'm not sure I understand the question.

You mean, when you die... mortally? As in, real death? I would expect the last thing on your mind would (or wouldn't, depending on how you think about it) be the nation you created here.

If you mean, RP death, then I suppose you could RP a will or something.

I think what he's saying is that the nation he created Ceased To Exist from inactivity, leaving his region without a founder.

All you need to do is request the revival of the founder and that nation will regain founder control of the region upon it's rebirth.

Or, if you don't want to do that, have everyone leave, wait for an update and let the region die, then have a new nation found the region over again.
