Guide to a Wiki-Style Factbook, Embassies, and Consulates

I have found this guide to be incredibly helpful in making my own factbook entries. I have made progress but I've only begun to touch but the tip of the massive iceberg of writing it. And it's coming along well. Thank you very much for your hard work in sharing this with all of us.

When I click the links in them I'm taken to the parts of your factbook that they're supposed to link to just fine.

Ponderosa might have made the map, but I'm not sure. Though, I did make my own map with help of Wikipedia map templates. So that could help.
