Nations of fans

Hmm. Just noticed that the Red Sox and Raiders seem to be the only teams that have fans who are referred to as "Nations." It would be great to see them go to war.

The Cowboys are "America's Team" so their fans could invade the Red Sox and Raider Nations and then topple the infrastructure while implementing puppet fan governments that did whatever Cowboys fans wanted.

Also, what does a group of fans need to do in order to become a "Nation?" Packer fans are loyal but they're called Cheeseheads (sounds derogatory to me). The Cubs haven't won in a long time but their loyal fans don't seem to qualify as a nation either. The White Sox also haven't in a long time, but again, no nation, despite the fact they are also a "Sox" team.

Speaking of Sox, why did the Red/White Stockings change their name to Sox? Are there any other pro sports teams that spell their names incorrectly on purpose? Wouldn't that be like rooting for the Metz?
