Dhukath✭✭✭I actually thought the complaint was about peoples characters called "Nation", when they actually mean named after Nations, vary misleading.
However as the US likes to remind people of freedom of speech, it surely falls under this domain, as if enforced where would this lead.1 -

Political Correctness is a thought police like conditioning to not criticize and not speak your mind. It has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to be racist or anything like that. This is a prime example of what comes from our overadjusted society.
The fact that I want to be able to voice rejection irrespective of color, religion, sex, sexual alignment or any other crap makes me less racist than someone who immediately pulls the racist flag if the person I do not like happens to be part of an "en vogue" minority.

Political correctness is not working as it should work. If you look around (and not on leftist propaganda) you will see that its not actually that much for protecting the minorities but for bullying the other side that they claim to be oppressive.
There is a HUGE difference between a person being racist and stating actual facts. The only reason why everybody nowadays that gets their news from other places rather than tumblr are called racists, is because its the easiest comeback those "minorities" can have, since they cant handle facts, and many times DONT EVEN KNOW what they stand for.Edited by CherryCake on July 11, 2016 2:29PMI like sweetrolls and I cannot lie6 -

I am not kidding
not many video games allow these name exist
if I make a character called "American" , and I do some crap in the game , people will say : "American is crap" when they talking about me
so what will the real American feel about ? Does every American in the game know what u actually talking about ?
ZOS should ban these people for using A NATION as their name , OR at least force them change to another name ( which is a better choice)
AND zos should not allow anyone who use a Country name as their character name when creating new character
this is potentially ASSAULT A NATION/COUNTRY by using these names in the game
Edited to remove profanity

Appleblade✭✭✭✭✭First of all, America is the continent. Also, you said nothing about continents, so America is still greenlit.
The continent is North America.
America, singular, is the generally accepted shorthand for United States of America.
Using "USAian" will make you look silly because it parses out to United States of American. Huh?0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I predict seeing a lot more nation themed names in response to OP's overreaction. It will lead to hysterical things like:
"I just got teabagged by Canada."
"Croatia is cheating."
"I'm glad the cost scaling stopped Kenya from streaking all over the place."
"I'm getting the saltiest hate tells from North Korea."

Btw, I remember in Dungeons Dragons Online, even the name of brazilian politics were banned lol xD, I wonder where did they get tha from.
so maybe after few days/month we will find someone who create United States and tbag everyone in cyrodiil , what will people in zone chat talk about ? Will they say " United States is dog " or "the person who set his name as United states is dog " ?
no offence to US , just show u an example
we never know who will create that name in the future , we never know
Personally, I love your example - I would kill to see some one named "MERICA teabagging everyone in Cyodil.2 -
