The correct way to put your nation name in your profile - common mistake

[Khablan]

Put JUST the name, without the additional title.

Example:  My nation is The Commonwealth of Khablan.  So in the Nation field on my profile, I would just put:  Khablan

Any other way and the nation link won't work.

Oh mod dear, is there any chance of getting this stickied?  This seems to be a mistake that's made far more often than not.

Your link goes to the following address, which will only bring up the NS homepage: http://www.nationstates.net/The%20Free%20Land%20of%20FatesWebb

You want to type in "FatesWebb" to make it direct other users to your specific nation.

If you're logged into the game and you click on a nation link that doesn't work, it shows you your own nation's page. 

So people click on their own link to make sure it's working, and it -looks- like it is.  But others clicking on it don't get the right page.

Another common error is not reading what you've just written before hitting Post.
