I'm trying to buy a country. I have more than 100 Gold Coins. I go to that country's Home Page and click on the link to buy. A small window pops up giving me the option to "Add to my Empire". Clicking this button closes the window and drops me back to that country's Home Page with a big orange box saying "Sorry, the name you entered does not fit in this game. The name is already in use or it contains text that might be offensive to some."

It IS a long name, but obviously the previous President managed to get it entered. I'd change to it something short, like "Baub", if I could just buy the thing.

Can someone with GameMaster privileges change the name to something less than 28 characters, please?

Only bad can come from taking that country. Barney has a valid point.
