The mod team was made aware of an in game message made between 2 players a few days ago.
Within the message 1 player admitted his previous game nicks, yes "nicks" is plural.... and the fact that he now plays under a new name and new account to evade previous sanctions placed.

A decision was made to delete the current country due to the following:

Creating a new account and playing it to evade military sanctions.
While military sanctions are no longer in effect, the sanctions were in place when the player decided to create a new account and play under the new account to evade the sanctions.
Thus this was evasion and is unfair to the players that had to play with sanctions in place.
