Nation deletion?

Could mods delete nations per request? I know the old litany goes, "if you want to quit, let your nation die of inactivity." Yet that wouldn't be satisfying. Nations that die naturally can be revived. What if one wanted all their nations completely, utterly, and permanently wiped out?

I'd like this nation and all of my puppets deleted ASAP.

I know you said this wouldn't be satisfying, but I'm afraid that I have to go with the old litany, here. There is too much potential for abuse in granting such requests. For example, obtaining the password to someone elses nation and then (under the stolen nations forum account) request a national deletion.

You'll have to simply not log in for a month (two months if Vacation Mode is on). Be sure to attach a current E-mail address to all of your nations in case you change your mind later and you've forgotten your passwords.

If you want to make your nations permanently inaccessible, you can do it quite easily without getting modbombed. Go to your settings, and remove any email address you have for the nation. Set the password to a random, ridiculously long alphanumeric string (such asc5n5c5c21b0b07v08c1508b5c) which you could never remember. Then you couldn't log in even if you wanted to.
