I've started on my Factbook, putting it here to see any constructive criticism, and don't worry, there's going to be lots of updates

By far the most impressive factbook I have made.

You may want to use more paragraphs. Huge blocks of text are kind of an eyesore.

How to get those pics and format info in?
Is it a wiki?

Could you be a little more specific?

Oh you man, how did you get those graph and chart things like this

Assuming that you already know how to make tables, factbooks automatically generate them to look like that. On the forums however, you're still stuck with the ugly cell tables.

That's just a normal table.

All those countless hours spent on creating this (admittedly still incomplete) factbook. Comments are very much appreciated!

It's ok but in ''Race'', I think you should name it ''Ethnicities'' since some of those aren't necessarily races. Also, why'd you group Turks and Arabs together?

Will images compress to fit the box on gameside, or should I shrink them down myself?

Images won't compress themselves gameside or forumside.

I guess Germanic fascist aryans don't really distinguish between the two.

Hmm or should I just be a bit more detailed? As in I'll delineate the main racial groups first before cleaving them into ethnic groups?

And oh yes I missed that part, I'll go sort out the Turks and Arabs bit.

Nice. But with schooling I don't have time for this, that's why mine looks more like a textbook from second grade.

You have textbooks in Grade 2?

Perhaps because it's just an infobox?

At least the overview is.

I was just surprised there are grade 2 textbooks, that's all.

I remember worksheets, and maybe workbooks. Probably not an actual textbook at that time, at least for me.

Apparently spoilers for the RMB and factbooks are a thing now: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=319708

So I have also made a little something with my factbook. I'm especially interested in making it easy to navigate, so I took some of Herrebrugh's ideas and I think the result is nice. But I will accept any criticism or suggestion you guys may have.
