Just discovered this:
Apparently a recent fix made it impossible for two empires to share the same name (can't start a new game with the same name of an existing empire), presumably to prevent false flag attacks or similar.
It seems whatever list is used to store these names isn't properly cleared after an empire abdicates, meaning that if an empire is destroyed or abdicates, its name can never be used again in that scenario. The same is true for emperor name.
Unsure if this is intended behavior?
Could potentially be abused by a player/bot rapidly creating and abdicating empires with popular names, "locking them out" permanently for that scenario.
Used empire and emperor name list not clearing after abdication?

Yeah this is a problem to me as well, I found it hard to search for empire name because the game said it is used by another player

Fire, Fire, Fire;
Streaks of golden light,
Rays of cosmic waves crashing through still dead night.
Gifts of diamond rays,
Strewn pearls of days not measured,
Treasured gleaming quests fade through the absolute oblivion of infinite time, no matter the direction.
And war died the day it noticed itself,
Peace, yet still dead, peace in the void of voids.
