Region with a vulgar name
A region is named "Who gives a shit". I know that nations are not permitted to have vulgar names, and I assume that applies to regions as well. I have filed a complaint via the Getting Help page.
Here's the WFE:
Who gives a shit
World Factbook Entry: n/a.
UN Delegate: The Kingdom of Monkeybacon (elected 4 days ago).

Who gives a shit contains 8 nations. [List all nations]

They're not hurting anybody, so <region name> ? You're like that kid I knew in school who tattled on everyone, and then took his teachers to the board if he as much as got his name put on the chalkboard.

Perhaps I did not make myself clear. Knock it off with the name calling.

Clear?
The bottom line is that name breaks the rules of the game. Some elementary schools use this game as a tool to educate children about politics. They don't need to be exposed to obscene words such as that.

Meh, the name is not hurting anyone.
You all are being really mature about it. If you break the rules of course you will be caught and repremanded. Yes, schools do use this. Also, I personally find it offensive. However, there was no need to make a forum thread about it. It should have been reported quietly and silently dealt with by the administration. There is no need to make a big deal out of it. Just as long as it gets fixed.

Hey, if I'm not mistaken, children in "educational regions" do not have any communication with normal nations or other regions. Therefore, I think we can pretty much rule out the whole bad example for kids thingie..
Therre's a section in the FAQ that deals with educational regions. Check it out sometime.
