The site name was inspired by the use of "Nathania" as a country name in the 1988 Israel Del Rio DOS game ''{{w|The Strength of Nations}}''. The Nathania logo is a black flag with a white "N" monogram in {{w|Century_type_family#Century_Schoolbook|century schoolbook font}}. This has been described as "narcissistic" and, indeed, the site openly embraces the ethos of egoism/egotism.[http://nathania.org/wiki/Miscellany:Nathan_Larson_2014.02.13_letter_to_Chris_Wenzlick] | The site name was inspired by the use of "Nathania" as a country name in the 1988 Israel Del Rio DOS game ''{{w|The Strength of Nations}}''.

The first incarnation of the site was created in mid- to late-2008, and hosted with [[1and1]]. It had an anarchy symbol for its logo. No record of this incarnation appears in the [[Archive.org|Internet Archive]], so apparently all the data was lost when unpaid server fees resulted in the site's becoming unavailable. The domain expired on 3 September 2009. Example urls from the old site are: | The first incarnation of the site was created in mid- to late-2008, and hosted with [[1and1]].

This incarnation of Nathania was originally hosted on Bluehost and then Hostmonster. After a concerned citizen submitted a report of "adult content", Hostmonster issued a terms of service violation notice on 10 September 2012 noting that the website would be deactivated unless the content were removed within 48 hours. Eventually, Nathania ended up at Dreamhost; like other sites that use Dreamhost's share hosting, Nathania is subject to frequent performance problems, including internal server errors, although as of February 2014, these had become less common. | This incarnation of Nathania was originally hosted on Bluehost and then Hostmonster.
