No. Regions with space bars after or before are illegal and are renamed, like it happened to _Nazi Europe who became National Socialist Europe.

Yes, but this is not a space, it is a _ character.

Space bars have been replaced with _'s. The region _Nazi Europe has been renamed after such changes. My other nation was there at that time.

I coulda sworn that we'd disabled that sort of thing. I'll fix it.

Edit: Renamed "Another France"

You see Corinthe?

You see Corinthe?

Hack is confused. He confuses the "_" with the " " (space) character.
The use of "_" has never been disabled.

I thought they were disabled at the beginning and end of region names.

Spaces became _ all of a sudden.

No only spaces were, but vsomebody recreated " ", so it is rather confusing.

The underscore "_" is still in use, as Corinthe has claimed. Is there any plans to have it removed? Especially in the case of that region that is only Underscores with no letters or spaces.

I've noticed, when looking at the list of regions, listed alphabetically, that quite often there is a region that is listed prior to "000" What region is that? How do you see what countries are there?

It's a bug. When a nation finds itself outside any and all regions, its region is listed as being "0". Since this region does not exist, there's no name attached to it, nor a link to it.

More regions that start/end with an underscore:
Sunnydale_
Mesopotamia_
_____________________ (21 underscores)


And while I'm at it, all the other regions that contain an underscore in the name (not the ID, which has underscores instead of spaces by design).

000000__Alpha Quadrant__000000
0000_Land of Bob_0000
000_PaintballFreedom_000
Bob_Region
C_Ebans_World
Cracker_Blanket
Cult_of_Parratoga

Food_Eating_Nazi_Child_Lovers
Foundling_nations_3
LIA_claimed_lands
La Islas_Kerensky
Neo_Omniscient_Axis_Of_Evil
No_Witnesses
Ohio_natives
Paradise island_x
REMEMBER_STALINGRAD
Sesja_pl
So_far_west_its_the_east
The_Pharmacy
U_P_P_A


It's not even a big list, I was expecting more.

As I understand it, the underscore in the name is treated as a space, but it cannot be located at the beginning or the end of the region name. At least not new regions.
