Question in reference to the UN

I have a question in reference to the UN. I hope someone may be of some help. I am a member of the UN.
A few months ago I helped two freinds by taking care of their nation's while they had to take a temporary leave of absence. One friend recently returned and, choose to give me two of his nations. I decided to keep one of them but, I gave the other nation away to friend of mine about 1 week ago. The nation I gave away and, the other nation I'm still keeping active (for a friend) isn't in the UN.

I'm wondering if either person decides to join the UN with those nation's, will the game pick up my ISP on those nation's and, think I'm a UN multi?

It is my understanding that this should not be a problem, unless you share the same computers. Please make sure not to log in your UN nation on someone else's computer, nor on a school or public library's connection.

I was advised that logging into a school computer that resolved to an .edu ISP address wouldn't be a big deal.

It's not enforced as strictly as other IPs, but it is still unadvisable to log into your UN nation on any public computer, .edu or otherwise.

As long as those nations start logging on from someone elses computer and stop logging on from your computer before they join the UN, then you should be fine.

It's not enforced as strictly as other IPs, but it is still unadvisable to log into your UN nation on any public computer, .edu or otherwise.
Just to elaborate on what Unfree said:

This should be read as: "For school and public computers: Avoid computer sharing whenever possible. For all other computers: Avoid computer-sharing at all costs."
