Well, what I can say right off the bet is that its beautifully formatted. I've seen couple of factbooks dealing with canon NS policies but they were always in a table form so seeing non-table variant was a nice touch. Especially its interesting crossing the ones that you enacted by solving issue but aren't considered canon. Solid 8/10 for formatting and 10/10 for proving actual information related to policies

The factbook is formatted well and it has an extensive information on the capital city. One notable feature of this factbook is its coverage of the city's culture, including details about landmarks and the artistic creations of its residents. In summary, it was pleasant to read. If I want to give it a rating, it would around an 8. I would have given it a 9 but do to it being incomplete (which is understandable making factbooks is a long process to do, let alone trying to make a good one) I can't give it, however it's looks like it very close to being done so keep it up Equai.

8.5/10.

I guess you effectively used the style of newspaper to write the article about the jet, which is a good job. Though, some more details, like the size of it, can be also given if available.

4/10. It's a good attempt at a wiki style entry but it still needs more work.

Its not bad. That being said I do have issue with formatting of the infobox as it takes the entire screen making it a bit of a mess which is definitely going to hurt some points. Writing is nice, its interesting alternative... future? Even tho I heavily disagree with the entire premise of it. 7/10

I have know about AN for a while and have always read their factbooks and information. They always produce great work!

For this page Id say 8.5 / 10. The visuals are great! Heavy in art and pictures which is very pleasing. The lore is rich, and it was great learning about the politics of AN's nation. I find some issue with the size of the text. It is so large that it actually makes it difficult to read and navigate the page. Plus, since the entire page is a image you cannot do a keyword search. So, you have to scroll and try to read everything to find specific information. It would also be helpful if other pages were linked, for example AN has a dispatch about their political parties, but there is no link to that in the Politics page.

10/10, its beautiful, filled with information, and easy to navigate. The map is also a great touch, Bravo! The long list at the end is rather dull though and gets boring quickly, but overall the factbook is still really good!

6/10 - It is an alright factbook. The contents themselves are interesting enough and tell a compelling story, even when it is set in a well-explored setting in alternative history, and therefore, I've already seen similar stuff to this before, considering it seems to be, at its core, an alternative history about WWII. When working with something that has been done before, you are going to be subjected to a much more critical eye, as people will have a lot of other works to compare yours with, and that is pretty much what I am doing here. I think it would be a good idea to provide more context about the "First Trial," the collapse of Russia and the creation of the "West Siberian People's Republic" for us to understand the importance of the independence of Omsk and the "Redeemed Black League."

Furthermore, I recommend revising the grammar and sentence structure of the text. While I understand that errors happen, some of the mistakes in your text are actively hindering my comprehension of it. Simplifying certain sentences and clarifying the grammar will improve the overall readability of your work, and make it much more appealing. I'm not trying to be a pedantic grammar police, as I myself make spelling mistakes all the time, but addressing these issues will, in my opinion, greatly improve the clarity of your writing. Lastly, I would advise against using Cyrillic for names. I understand it may be an aesthetic choice, but it makes the text more challenging to read.

BN: Please rate this factbook about Eastplatine entertainment. I know the factbook is a bit too long, so if you don't feel like reading it all (I don't judge you for not wanting to read it), feel free to choose the section that catches your attention the most and rate that alone.

[The Aquaria]

9.5/10.

A very detailed factbook describing the developments of entertainment including arts, sports and even about how Botany influenced their social culture. Good job, and I hope I can also make something similar in the future.

I got only a list, and those images are not finished.

[Equai]

This is one of more detailed timeline and list of all rules of a nation. I love the effort you went to get everyone a picture (or will get everyone a one since you said images are incomplete) but there is not much to be said other then that. Plus I love the images that are made so far. I think we used the same AI to make them. I would give it 8/10 since its still work in progress

[The Verking Federation]

9/10, its a good factbook, but its not the best you have. I did like the flag and the history portions though, with out those this would probably only be a 7.5/10.

Please rate this factbook.

[Rhanukhan]

The overall feel of it is similar to the opening of Harry Turtledove's "WorldWar" series of novels where the alien invasion of the planet "Tosev 3" is initially told from the aliens' point of view and the revelation that they've arrived at Earth only occurs once the prologue is done. I'd recommend making all the images a standard size as they're currently all over the place, but other wise a simple and pleasing layout that's easy to follow. 7/10

[Settentrionalia]

I think I never saw a factbook about a fictional instrument so more points for the originality, you described very well how the Dhunhorn works and the sounds that it is supposed to make, the image you used is great except for the fact that there is no hole at the end of the instrument, is that accurate or did you not see it? Anyways, the history, playing, and culture sectors are brief but still have a great amount of information even mentioning some side stories that can interpreted as fun facts, I can totally relate with the controversy part since i prefer having slow or normal music instead of loud music. the fact that it can be considered unpleasant by outsiders is totally understandable since this is something that was also described with some real middle eastern instruments, overall it’s simple but really well made and kinda feels accurate. 9/10

The attention to detail is amazing, and the way its formatted is very good too. HOWEVER, using [sidebar] instead of [box] will prevent the infobox from clogging across the entire screen so there wont be need for spoilers to keep the factbook tidy and all maps are amazingly done. I would give you 9/10 for map designs and 7/10 for the the overall factbook including formatting.

Hmm… I see that you are having your humble beginnings with the subject of cartography, I do recognize the initiative, most people would have scrapped it after seeing how much they didn’t like their final result, but you still decided to post your map, and I am happy you did, because maps can really be the greatest way to introduce a nation, this is obviously not a masterpiece but it’s how you want other to visualize your nation. Overall I can’t give it more than a 5/10 for quality reasons, but from humble beginnings you will get better trust me.

I don't have much to say but this is probably one of the best military fact books I've read on NationStates.

What I like about Facebook is that the sentences and paragraphs in the factbook are quite short but provide a lot of information. I also like the way you provide information through pictures, very easy to understand. The design is also very pleasing to the eyes, a soothing light blue color, the letters are also large so I can read them easily. 10/10

...the image you used is great except for the fact that there is no hole at the end of the instrument, is that accurate or did you not see it?...

The body of the Dhunhorn is based on a kazoo (I like to imagine it sounding somewhat like this) - the end fits entirely in the player's mouth so the opening is the entire rear end, out of sight of the camera.
