Sorry if I've missed this concept or something, but at what point can you change the part in your country's name where it says, "The ____ of..."?

For instance, The Democracy of the USA. What do you have to reach to be able to customize the "democracy" part? Do you have to have at least a billion people living in your nation, or something along those lines?

Thanks.

It´s funny that mention this because since I joined 3 months ago, I´ve always had the option. My Nation was at first a Grand Duchy, then it became a Queendom and lastly a Principality. NS always let me change. I don´t think it has to do with the amount of citizens. But ask a mod.

Wrong forum, but I think it's 500 million. Or at least it was.

I think your nation has to be a certain amount of days old before you can change it.

But what's more important is that this type of thing goes in the Technical forum, not General. Just a heads-up.

Well, first you have to bribe a Mod, cookies work. Then after you send in the bribe plus one black mailable photo of you in a compromising position... ;)

To change from the drop down list to one of your own choosing you have to reach a certain population level which is, IRC, 500 million. After that you can go back into your nation page and type in whatever it is you want.

There's a point where you can enter a custom entry instead of just choosing from the list.

500 million or three months then you can change it. ;)

Is that so? I can write anything I want for the name of my nation at one point? I like that. Yes, a lot.

Gah, sorry about posting this thread under General. I've never posted on these forums before, so my apologies.

Oh, I know. But it would be so cool if I had the Awesome Queendom of Nanatsu no Tsuki or the Glorious Theocracy of Nanatsu no Tsuki for a name. Something along those lines, you know.

Five hundred million citizens will net you that ability.

Yeah, we should ask the mods if that feature can be added to NS. Like, my fiance created a nation here and he didn´t like how the name came out. When he realized this, he couldn´t change it.
