Well, it'll take more like two weeks. If you gift your stuff to someone, you'll have to wait 10 days for all your slots to clear before you'll be allowed to delete your nation. Sell off all your infrastructure and land and send the cash along with your tech to someone to hold for you. It would be a nice jesture if you notified your trading partners that you planned to delete your nation so that they could start to find new trades. You'll probably be allowed to start another new one right away, since nations deleting due to the war basically did, the waiting period I think kicks in if you needed to delete that nation gets right away so that you can't sit there starting and deleting until you get what you want.
