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

[Byzantine Empire 5]

I can't really post my flag in the factbook.

I've tried copying the link (https://imgur.com/a/Wo3T5h2) but it just doesn't work

either way, the ''upload image'' and ''computer'' stuff in imgur. Can't find it, any pro tips?

Sometimes you need to figure out what file extension it is. Did you create the flag as a GIF or a JPG? If you uploaded it as one of those, you need to type that at the end of the link that you post into the factbook page.

It looks like it was uploaded as webpage, so they’d have to perhaps save image, then reupload as jpg, png, or gif (whatever was preferred).

A true service this is to our Kingdom. Made one entirely by your inspiration! Keep up with these marvelous creations!

Thank you! I am absolutely going to spend hours planning out a fictional country instead of doing my biology homework... but small details, right?

[Alphazi]

Sorry for the GraveDig but can I use this even if I remove the end that says by [nation] and go to this link ? I understand you need to keep what yours yours, but I need to keep my factbooks good as well.

This is truly a miracle I bow to u

Cheers for the guide. I will definitely use it for future use.

Um, Ponderosa? I probably will feel absolutely stupid asking, but my images for the flags don't show up in the box. All I get is the same generic image placeholder image. https://www.nationstates.net/nation=the ... ok/id=main

You need to get the image address. Right click the image and click 'Copy image address', then paste that into the code.

It's "Copy image link" on my browser, but it works all the same. Thx.

It is really good

To up the thread: It worked really well! I made my factbook with the code and it looks great.

I really wonder if there are codes for tables as well; many people are doing military overviews as first sub-factbook and if there was a code for that...

[Stellar Order]

May I ask, how did you create your map of Ponderosa in your factbook?

[Sciencizon Proximin]

You should get a medal for this- it truly is an act of community service. Thank you very much.

I’d give the man two!

Thank you!

This is totally open, if you want to make recommendations, comments, questions, whatever.

Around ten years later, and your guide still comes in handy! We (the Halfworth Project Team) have even used this guide for a nation that is not an actual NS account and only exists in roleplay! As director of the Halfworth Project Team, I would like to say thank you very much for this guide!

Wow, this is awesome! Thank you so much for making this guide.

But I am having a problem with the content table. The box is waayyy too large; it covers almost the entire page. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Nevermind! I fixed it by dealigning the "Contents"-text. Thanks again!

[Kalaascovy]

I know this isn't exactly the best place but where would one be able to find a guide for a "low tech"/black box style factbook? Trying to make my own and unfortunately google leads me to this very forum post

[Aurlunor]

Golly gee, I remember using this guide for my old nation of Equalium and New Arcadius. This guide is still relevant and I'm glad you're still here!

[Liberza]

This factbook template is 10 years and 11 days old now, and it is still relevant to this day too!
