I think we can spruce this up appearance-wise. I think it might be more helful to file things in reverse, so we can see which codes are taken, and prevent people going for the same one. I know that's not how Wikipedia does it, but we don't have to be like them in ''every'' respect. Any ideas?[[User:Gruenberg2|<font color="green">Gruen</font>]][[User_talk:Gruenberg2|<font color="red">2alk</font>]] 13:26, 27 October 2005 (GMT)

There are a number of nations which do not have 4 letter ISO codes, including some with only 2 letters (!).  These should be remedied, as it is fairly well agreed that NS ISO codes have 4 letters.
+
== Disputes / Dispute Resolution Section ==
 +
The Nation Codes are assigned on a first come first serve basis.  A dispute can only occur if a player realizes that another player has the same code despite his/her claiming it first.  This section highlights the dispute.

A question has come up in the [[Simtropolis]] region about how to sort their new regional currency, the [[Currency_in_Simtropolis#Simoleon|Simoleon]]. I suggested having one entry for the Simoleon, as it is now. [[The Digital Network]] said that each nation should be listed individually.

I had inadvertently made "Sorted By Code" first when I split the article, rather than "Sorted By Entity" first since it was by alphabetical order ("C" before "E"). Any reason why [[User:Swilatia]] changed it around again? :) *curious* --[[User:Einmyria|Einmyria]] 19:28, 28 October 2007 (GMT)

::I agree. That's what I did when I did the article on international airports, mainly for that reason. Anyway, I've now edited this article and added a section called "Sorted by codes". I've done the ISO codes, and I'll probably do others later if no-one else wants to. ;) - Aridd, 28 October 2005.

−
 
+

I've now also added the TLDs and carplate codes sorted by code. The TLD .swa had been claimed by Swilatia despite the fact it had already been claimed by West Ariddia; also, the carplate code P had been claimed by Palixia despite it already being claimed by Pacitalia. Therefore I've listed .swa as being solely West Ariddia, and P as being solely Pacitalia. I haven't, however, removed Swilatia's and Palixia's claims from the first half of the article, because I think we need some sort of consensus before doing so. -[[User:Aridd|Aridd]], 30 October 2005.
+
−
:I know this is unfair, but I'd be inclined to give .swa back to Swilatia, simply because West Ariddia is, well, a puppet.

+
−
:What does it change whom you're talking to? ;) Additionally, there's the fact that Swilatia has claimed 3 TLDs for a single nation. Even without .swa, he's still got 2 TLDs for one nation. There's no rule preventing him from doing that, of course, and I haven't got a problem with it per se, but it doesn't invalidate my prior claim, either. Now, regarding conflicting claims in the first half of the article, I suggest leaving them, but that the second half should list only those who made the claim first.

== Domain conflicts ==

OK, I think we may have a problem related to domain name conflicts for one. There's a list of people who have domains conflicting with RL domains, and I feel we should not encroach on this territory. The offendors are:<br>
+
−
Caselonia - Chile (.cl)<br>
+
−
Commerce Heights - Duh! (.com)<br>
+
−
Goobergunchia - Guernsey (.gg)<br>
+
−
Gruenburg - Great Britain (.gb) - it's not used anymore but it's still registered<br>
+
−
Kaenei - Kiribati (.ki)<br>
+
−
Knootoss - St Kitts and Nevis (.kn)<br>
+
−
Meekinos - Macedone (.mk)<br>
+
−
Sovietor - El Salvador (.sv)<br>
+
−
 
+
−
And that doesn't count potential offendors with violated names on the Jolt thread - they're actually listed in my post over there, but we should deal with these ones
+
−
My view? You eight on here and nine on the Jolt thread should replace your domains with something similiar but not in violation. Here's the link to domains in use:

:I don't think that's a major problem. None of those ccTLDs are very well-known, well-used, or both. The exception is .com, but I think that since (I beleive) Commerce Heights is completely centered around commerce, they would all use the gTLD, or maybe it's just for effect. This might be helpful if one or more of those nations agreed with your stance and wanted to fix it, but we shouldn't force anything on anyone. (It almost goes into the realm of personal attacks, which we ''certainly'' don't want :)).

: I actually picked .gb deliberately because I knew it's not used anymore, but is registered (so it won't become registered). Besides, most countries don't acknowledge the existence of RL countries, do they? So, I don't consider this an NSwiki concern. I honestly don't think an inconvenient TLD is going to annihilate a whole RP. I'm more concerned about conflicts between TLDs within NS, than with RL crossover, which is inevitable. If you have a particular problem with one, negotiate with that player beforehand.

: In a spooky twist of fate I only found out earlier today that my nation's chosen code, .sb, is that of the Solomon Islands. NS is not equal to RL, one cannot fly from NS Starblaydia to the RL Solomon Islands, so where does the actual conflict come in? Surely the only 'conflict' over this would be two nations fighting over the same one on NS? - [[User:Starblaydia|Star]] 21:05, 1 January 2006 (GMT)

I don't see it as a major problem. I decided on a three-letter code precisely to avoid conflict with RL, and also because three letters means a far greater number of possibilities for all the NS nations out there, but if some nations want a two-letter code which is already claimed IRL, it's really up to them... - [[User:Aridd|Aridd]], 12:22, 17 January 2006 (GMT)

−
 
+

I apologize if this is not the right place to be putting this message! But, I was wondering -- after reading how the domains are conflicting with RL domain endings, and how a few codes were used before others, when they all claimed them -- I was wondering if we are assigned certain codes, or if, when we claim a code, we need to go through a specific process, talking with whoever is in charge of all of this, or if we just add whatever we made up, respectively, to the list?

Jeez, that whole paragraph was just two sentences. Still, I'd like to know. This goes for all those other "official" codes and names on NSwiki, like, well, you know, I can't really think of any examples right now. Haha. :(  So, someone please get back to me on this one?

:Carplate = licence plates. Some nations have federal plating systems instead of provincial (like in North America), so they will use a letter or number to identify where the car is specifically registered.

:The P and flag identify that the car is registered in Pacitalia, the SBC specifies that it is a Sambucan (province, not city) vehicle.

Looking for older discussions? See Talk:Nation_codes/Archives for a full list.

Known Issues

I'm moving a bunch of the older discussions to the archive page and summarizing them as follows. I also moved User:Pinguinum's comment about airline codes to Talk:List_of_international_airline_companies.--Einmyria 14:53, 28 October 2007 (GMT)

  • Code Overlap = when 2 or more nations have the same code. It makes no sense for the same telephone code, TLD, etc... to be effectively claimed and used by two or more countries. Rule is, first come first serve. Do not duplicate a code if you know it is already taken. See "Disputes" section below for current disputes. Nations who are disputing the codes should contact each other to resolve the dispute by consensus.
  • The use of RL codes in the codes section. +1 for telephone codes, for example, was discouraged due to it's prominent use in RL...but there was much debate over whether this should be dictated or enforced. There was also discussion over the use of RL TLDs in NS. It boiled down to lack of enforcement.
  • What are carplate codes? It's this.
  • ISO Standards of 4 characters long appeared in the original forum thread, and so is highly suggested, but there has yet to be any "enforcing."

Disputes / Dispute Resolution Section

The Nation Codes are assigned on a first come first serve basis. A dispute can only occur if a player realizes that another player has the same code despite his/her claiming it first. This section highlights the dispute.

International Currencies

A question has come up in the Simtropolis region about how to sort their new regional currency, the Simoleon. I suggested having one entry for the Simoleon, as it is now. The Digital Network said that each nation should be listed individually. So I thought I'd ask what the community thought.--Kedalfax 22:45, 22 February 2007 (GMT)

Don't Know really. I'd go with listing it just once, and placing "Simtropolis", or "Simtropolis Nations" where the nation should go. Personally, I would change the format so the currency goes before the country, but switching this now might take some time. --swilatia 01:11, 9 March 2007 (GMT)

Split this article

I'm thinking this is getting quite unnecessarily lengthy—could we split these lists up into separate articles? We could place a template on the bottom of each list, linking to other lists. Blast 03:11, 28 June 2007 (GMT)

I second this. Not only is this making the article really long, it makes no sense to me for all these code types to be sharing an article. swilatia 17:16, 28 June 2007 (GMT)
Done! Instead of putting a template though, I just linked back to the main "Nation codes" page. I've also made changes to the top. I put the words "suggested." After all, it's non-enforcable. lol --Einmyria 17:05, 28 October 2007 (GMT)

A couple things

Just to let whoever-needs-to-know know, I am changing America of Tomorrow's currency from the "Money" to the "Point." So, I'm going to update this on the main article. ALSO, what is a calling code and do I need to register? Sorry if that's a dumb question... however I've seen many ranging numbers and it's a little confusing!

If I'm doing anything wrong, lemmie know please! Thanks.

A calling code is the code someone outside your country needs to dial in front of a phone number when phoning someone in your country. Aridd 10:43, 29 July 2007 (GMT)

Currency and Keeping one Article

I think NS should adopt the following currency symbols:
Dollar/Peso: $
Pound: £
Lira: ₤
Yen/Yuan: ¥
Colon: ₡
Baht: ฿
Franc: F
Won: ₩
Presta: Pts
Rupee: Rs
Dong: ₫
Euro: €
Naira: ₦
Krona/Krone: kr
Sheqel: ₪
Ruble: p.

Not knowing about this page I created this, a page specifically for currencies currently circulating. Those of you wanting a separate article have your wish.

The way to keep the codes in a single article is putting all of the codes pertaining to a particular attribute of a nation in a sortable wikitable
--FirelightInvoker

There is absolutely no way that all the nations in Nationstates are going to adopt RL currency. The reason why NS is so diverse is because no RL currencies are used. As such, I oppose this suggestion. --Ѕтøќʟǒмōʟvї Rant | Contributions 22:53, 12 October 2007 (GMT)
I agree with User:Stoklomolvi in that RL shouldn't intrude too much on NS but I like the idea of including fractional monetary units, which people were not able to input in this main article. Is it possible to merge the two, I wonder?--Einmyria 10:58, 27 October 2007 (GMT)


Sorting Order

I had inadvertently made "Sorted By Code" first when I split the article, rather than "Sorted By Entity" first since it was by alphabetical order ("C" before "E"). Any reason why User:Swilatia changed it around again? :) *curious* --Einmyria 19:28, 28 October 2007 (GMT)
