I was just curious if you guys often used the names of our countries as names in the issues we receive. I am not annoyed at all, in fact, I am a little flattered to think that anyone liked the name of my country. I was just wondering and was curious if there are any legal issues with that. Also, I have been wondering if Nation States is under US law or some other country or a group of them.

"We remain critically short of blood plasma and various organs," says Arcde Balkothe One hospital administrator Hack Wu. "Especially hearts. A good heart is hard to find. But if we were allowed to pay for donations, we'd get more of them and could save more lives. Plus the donor takes home a few hundred brumaes in compensation. Unless it's a post-mortem donation, of course. In that case we'd pay the family."
Forgot to put what the issue was.
Your nation's name is appearing in the text of your issues because it is part of a code used in the issues.
Each player will see his or her own nation's name in their respective issue.

I'm not sure whats laws apply to Nationstates but I do now Max Barry got a letter from the UN telling them to decease using the name United Nations, which was then replaced with the World Assembly.

They use @@NAME@@ for your country, and @@RANDOMNAME@@ for a random person's name
