My country, Northern Germania, is my pride and my joy. But, I am in a bit of a dilemma. You see, one of my friends and colleagues played a prank on me and changed my password. I typed in my e-mail address so that I could recieve a new password from the administration, only to realize that the e-mail address that I had supplied in "Settings" was expired. I would hate to lose my country, if there is anyone out there that can help me, I would be eternally grateful!!!

Try to get that E-mail account back, if possible.

If you have neither the E-mail account nor the password, then you cannot prove ownership of your nation.

General Advice: Make sure your E-mail setting is up-to-date. Keep your password secure and avoid using Auto Login.

Can't you check to see if they are coming from the same IP address?

Also, what about logging in to the forum with the old password? Forum accounts are created using the initial settings on the nation creation page and not changed when the nation settings are changed, so your old password is still in use on the forums. To log in to the forum account directly, visit the forums after your current loggin has expired and try to post something. Youl get a loggin prompt.

I can't guarantee official recognition of this procedure, so I will not speak officially.

You can also log in directly to the forums by logging out of the game, going to the forums while logged out of the game, and then attempting to reply to a post anywhere in the forums.

Wait for an answer from Salsa on the IP address, and start beating up your friends for the password in the meantime.

Yes, I suggest a large cast iron frying-pan, and try not to hit their head, you want them to still be able to talk.
