Is it the nations name, animal or currency? Cause while blunt.. I'm not sure any lines have been crossed. Does this offend you? I'm not sure they have broken the rules, perhaps I'm wrong though. Maybe I should defer this to a Game Mod. I personally find it blunt, while not offensive. Perhaps I'm missing some thing?

Not many things offend me....I was just under the impression that nation names such as these are illegal. I was simply trying to help out...
Perhaps the definition of illegal names switches from mod to mod...which is understandable...
No worries

Well, I am only a forum mod and not 100% sure on what the rule of thumb has been for the game mods on this issue. So, I may very well be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time..lol. I'm sure if I am a game mod will see this post and take the appropriate action.

Well, just a guess here, but the nation doesn't look like it was made to offend anyone. I'm sure if it was, the motto, currency, and animal would all be geared towards pissing someone off.
But on the other hand, making a nation to test the limits of the rules is also illegal.
Tough call here! :o

I had not heard that before. I am of the understanding that it either crosses the line or it doesn't.. close only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades ;)
