Awesome! Thanks for the tips!
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. The danger is to the body, and it can kill. The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

Is it possible to have parts of the factbook source from your actual nation? ie how to reference population when it changes every day, or to inport one's GDP when every issue can affect it.

Yes, although it seems not all Nationstats can be used

Is there a leader factbook I can use?
Some people design their sigs as a work of art, with links and colors and complex coding. To which I say...

If you do post your factbook here for criticism/suggestions, please spoiler it :lol:

well, I made my own Factbook as well (Thank You OP. this template really helped)
it's still in progress (and, it will be until I get to make it detailed enough for me to be satisfied. so probably never lol) but you can find it here
(Also a question. what is the maximum number of words one can put in a Factbook? I think it's about 12000 but I'm not sure)

If you have only one factbook then it shows up as the main, if you have multiple then it won't work.

Unless you move the other factbooks to "dispatches".
