>>312221856 - i don't even see a reason to vote since it is simply outdated at this point
7.1
Yes, there is enough lore that can be build without a known location and assumptions will jsu tlead to problems as already shown.
7.2
i maybe would add that if there are things related to some of these possible locations, like maybe a possible nation switch or a proposed border change, that the vote for the new nation will be postponed until those are dealt with as to prevent a vote for a new nation to be linked to a different vote at the same time.
7.3
it certainly is not the most secure thing either but it will prevent a lot of surface level attempts like new nations jumping out of nowhere to vote or someone trying to assume the persona of someone else whiel they are away

i think 2 weeks are fine, its shorter than what some beleive, will mean at most they will miss 2 votes, if any at all sicne we do not vote always, and makes sure we see at least the desire of a person to stick around since if they dip after just 2 weeks then they should also not have a say in longlasting decisions made in a vote.
unrelated to these, maybe there should also be a rule about people not able to switch their homethread while a vote is coming up or for a period of time in order to prevent the idea of someone switching quickly so they can vote as a different nation or try to mess with the canon fo someones story ect.
while i doubt that the thread would just accept someone doing such a thing, having something tangible set up before such a situation even arises might not be the worse, this doe snot however has a high priority and can wait for a later vote i think.
