Actually have one of these of my own but it's nice to see some variation available.

Thanks!

You should use mine; it's an anatomically-correct recreation of the wikipedia version, using NS-allowed coding to get it as close as possible to the real thing. It's not perfect, but it's the closest you'll ever get. I even managed to get the colors for the "Office" block (you know, where is says like, "44th President of the United States" and below that "Incumbent" or something like that. I guarantee you it's the closest possible recreation.

Not everyone wants a Wikipedia-style one though.

I know, I'm just saying that if you do want a wikipedia style one, then mine's the closest possible version. The title of the post is "Wikipedia-style factbook entry for a Person Guide", after all.

Oh I shall, mine isn't for wiki-style, it's for introspective biographies, you know, character profiles.

Good to see that people enjoy my guide. If you use it, please post your factbook here!

Going to save this thread for later, when I'm updating my queen's factbook.

Your welcome

It now looks beautiful!

EDIT: aside from the side-bar, if there is anything else in the factbook that you think I should add, please let me know.

Well you should add a page for the Royal House.

This is excellent.

I've been fiddling with the thing for a bit -- it's still under construction and all, but hell, I'm a showoff:

Nice, but the PM is still listed as the incumbent opposition leader.

And you've got everything centered; it's not really wikipedia-like as much.

Thanks for noticing.

Difference in tastes -- I like it more when centered. I'll see once I fill up the surrounding space.

Fair enough, I suppose. And you're welcome

Looks great. I also have suggestion, what about a template for a corporation.

I might make one.

for now though, I'm gonna focus on more political ones.

Although if you've got suggestions, I'm glad to hear them.

FYI I've also got a thread for a wikipedia style guide for Noble Houses, if you have one or had one in the past: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=413224

Could somebody post a template for a historical list of leaders? Thanks.
