NationStates

Wiki style factbooks take ages to write and a while to read. So here is an easy to read, quick to make template to inform of your nation. This comes with a nice tab;e for leaders, nice contents page so one can skip right to a part they're interested in, and a section on policies so one doesn't have to make a separate factbook for that. Policies are nicely colour coded in
The template is easy to add to, so you are free to add to it..

[EDIT 15/12/2018] Respond below for things you want added here or for general feedback. Have a good day!

I really appreciate this. Thanks.

Some of the BBCode like the colors, anchors, horizontal rules aren't formatted properly (if you're using us spelling that is). I think maybe you want to move the table of contents to the right. And the alignment tag should be like the one below. But that's a great simple template for people to use.

Code: Select all

[align=center]Thing you're aligning[/align]

Thanks! I'll be sure to play around with it when i get a chance!

Just adopted it, and modified it a bit for my needs. Nice work, thanks a lot!

This is intended to be used in factbook mode, not here. AFAIK the UK spelling does not require [align=].

The main issue was that I had to put alignment first, which i realised shortly after adopting myself.

Hope you enjoy this.

Thank you for this. This will be very useful in the future.

This is a really nice template Thanks for making it

You are welcome. Any problems then let me know

I have updated this template to include:
- Side of road driven on
- Calling code
- Social and Economic Policies
- Added input for age of criminal responsibility.

I will regularly check this thread for replies now I have time. I will edit the main post so it says this (so for new members this is a reiteration) but if you have anything you think would be useful to add to this template, DO REPLY TO THIS THREAD WHAT YOU WANT so I can add it in there. Thank you for using this template and praising it so far. I aim to improve it.
