I was just wondering if Moderators are able to alter Nation Names. When I registered my Nation, and was originally calling it the Federation of North American Peoples, but It didn't fit, so I called it the Federation of Free Alberta, and clicked the submit button, but I had left one of the drop-down menus on DEFAULT, so It took me back again. Now, my browser caches everything, so it went back to "The Federation of North American," And I didn't notice until It was to late. Is thre any way a Moderator could change my Nation to Free Alberta instead of North American? Thank you.

Moderators cannot alter nation names.

So there is no way to change it? at all?

The only thing you can do is create a new nation, I'm afraid. Sorry, but if mods started changed nation names they'd run a major risk of mucking up the game code alltogether so they've decided it's best to not fool around there.

We don't even has access to the ability to change nation names. Cannot be done; end of story.

Ok, well, thank you anyways......
EDIT-After reading several stickies, is it possible to delete this nation, make a new one, then have a game mod restore me as region founder.

We don't delete nations merely on request. We only delete nations for rulebreaking.
You can make a new nation.
We will not transfer Foundership. However, since you are the Founder, you may eject everyone from your region, password-protect it, wait for it to auto-delete for being empty, and then refound it with your new nation.

Your old nation should be removed from the UN, if it is a member, then given some obscenely long and completely random password to prevent hacking. After 28 days, it'll go out with the update.

In most cases. :D

If he wants his new nation to be in the UN, then yes, "North American" has to resign from the UN. However, he should assign an E-mail address to "North American" in case he wants the nation back, later.

In most cases. :D
He's asking about his specific case, and in his specific case, we will not transfer Foudnership.

So, nyah! :p

I know you won't in his specific case, but the way you said it, it could be interpreted to mean all cases.

So, nyah! :p

Just kidding. I knew what you meant, but it wasn't the clearest. Shutting up and running away now.

Well, thank you for your help. I guess I'm North American forever. ;D
