4. Changing your national name
WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Make a new nation or just live with it. The technical reasons alone are legion enough to make sure this will never be changed. Contrary to what people think, on the old forums this never happened either. Jolt and NS may be integrated by using an e-mail database and when you sign up on NS an account on jolt is created if you want to use the forum, they are totally seperate. Changing your name on NationStates means you must have to change your name on jolt as well. This is a lot more difficult than it sounds, mainly because jolt and NS aren't one. On a normal forum I'm quite sure name changes aren't a technical issue, because the same database is used. NS and jolt are different.

If you have 2 nations (A and B), is it in anyway possible to switch their names, so that A becomes B and B becomes A?

Nope. You're stuck with your name.

Why would you want to swap them anyway?

Perhaps if you smack yourself on the head with a lead pipe enough times you will think their names are reversed. :)

Hey, that really works, Goofballs Lunatic!

Because my first nation has a stupid name, but it is my primary nation (the nation which i use in regional politics). My second nation has a good name, but is small and not my primary nation. And as one cannot change the nations name, i thogh that one could swap them.

Yes, pretend.

Sorry, but you're stuck with it.

And, for future reference, you'll get responses from the people actually in charge of these things if you post questions like this in the Technical forum.

And it'll be a real answer instead of random stuff by people like LG.

Are you trying to say that the right kind of brain damage definately wouldn't work?

Yes, that's precisely what I'm saying; mental delusion is a bandaid, not a solution.

Yeah, but as i started reading the "(READ BEFORE POSTING)" part, i was unsure if this really belonged there.

Since one's nation name will never be changed a bandaid is all that can be done.

I am here not only to entertain, but to inform. :)

Seems to work all right for the President. :)

I have to live with my name, so the rest of you do too.

That's because he repeats the mantra: ignorance is bliss.

As I have learned the hard way when looking for a proper solvent to remove some goo I have gotten onto myself: Ignorance is not always bliss. *nod* :(

What's the big deal about a name? I have a nation called 'Little Flowers' but so what. It can crush just about any nation out there, who cares?
