AN's Best Factbook / Dispatch

[Asihiya]

(WIP) National Federation Factbook - Overview

There's only one factbook and I was about to complain, but that one's honestly a lot better designed and organized than many of mine.

Typically, "About Me" factbooks are self-centered and add nothing. However, I really like the 2nd-Person narrative style for this one, it's really creative and works so much better than any of the others I've read!

Edit: Please review not the dispatches of this nation, but those of Anglo-Lorraine, because this is a puppet of the latter which also has more up-to-date dispatches.

I like the info and effort put into it

[Neu Nederland]

The Constitution. It looks to be drafted well enough

This one. The formatting is incredible.

[Pilipinas and Malaya]

Definitely the overview and one of the linked ones in the overview (Politics).

I’m too lazy to make lots of content like that.

Most factbooks were WIP, so I chose that one because it has great potential. The website format is interesting already.

Between the overview and the cities dispatch, I'd have to pick the cities dispatch. It feels more complete, and it was really interesting to read through. I especially liked the part about Gorod Kota, and the cannibalistic practices.

[Uinted Communist of Africa]

I like the in depth leader factbook...i need to do that as well.
But i probably wont get around to it until christmas lol

[Monsone]

The truth about Western maps factbook. And its true (just its not western maps, just mecator projection maps).

[North German Realm]

The factbook describing their territory. Maybe add a map too?

[South Reinkalistan]

I think that this is rather unique, and provides a break from the (still rather impressive) wiki-style factbooks.

[Yegla Islands]

I'd have to nominate this one, for several reasons. Mainly for the things it doesn't do, to be honest - the user's choice to format their remaining factbooks in bolded, white-on-red Impact is something I... respectfully disagree with. It also uses an even, centered layout rather than the floatleft/floatright image blocks of the overview (which seem to have certain elements of text be misaligned with their respective images - not sure if this is a theme-dependent thing). All that said, it's also rather enjoyable as a piece of writing, and tells a relatively compelling story - something it does, as a matter of fact, have in common with most of the remaining factbooks. Really, my main qualm with this one is the fact that well-written though it is, it doesn't quite explore Sarkos' political leanings and stances in a similar depth to a wiki-style factbook (though I'm ure that could be amended via a separate factbook if need be, or even tacked on by medium of a spoiler-section). All around, one of the better and more uniquely-put together leader factbooks I've gone through.

This one here. Inspiring me to write an F7 superweapon for the station.

[Khoronzon]

This one. I really love all the gifs, and paired with the descriptions, it does a great job at building up an atmosphere for the place. Might want to get a new link for EILBOT's portrait though.

[Cantelo]

Easily the website-style factbooks, I love the aesthethic and wish I had the patience/knowhow to make one.

[Fuyujima]

The aptly named Cantelese Factbook.

A well made map, beautiful sigil, and neatly organized information.

I'm not sure if it's just my computer or not, but the pictures aren't showing up...
Regardless, that introductory quote was enough to draw my interest, and from there I became enthralled- pretty good writing, overall.

The one that describes their quasi-lovecraftian, not-so-quasi-stoned DJ overlord. It's trippy as hell and I love it.

BN: Links to some of my factbooks in my sig. There are others linked from the Overview that can be seen under dispatches.

I know it's the first link in your sig, but I literally said "fuck off" out loud when I saw the fake advertisement on the bottom. I absolutely love little details like that

I do fancy a good parliamentary factbook

[A z a n i a]

This one, I can't get over the level of detail.

[Tohorin Social Republic]

I like this one; it's to the point but very imformative, not overly complex and very easy to understand.

[Fenvaria Republic]

I found this one to be quite an interesting read. All of their factbooks are nice but I like this one the most.
