Meaning, for example, If I write about an event that take place at Alpha Centauri in my made up storytelling universe, in a History Factbook, involving either this nation or one of my puppets, would I be able to do that without much trouble?
Or, would I be able to write an OOC, miscellaneous disclaimer factbook stating this takes place in a separate universe to minimize any confusion, if I write something happening on Alpha Centauri in my historical factbook?

I don't see why not.

We have just today planted our flag in terra incognita, so please forgive our first post for what we're sure is the spectacular stupidity of the questions it contains. However, we have read and reread the FAQ pages and found no answer, and so, responding to the invitation in this thread's original post, we ask away...
Can one edit the content of one's overview page? Or is that content automatically generated, based on the answers given upon registering and by decisions made on issues and banners chosen? Does entering information in one's factbook affect the content of the overview? And if factbook data does affect the overview, is the entering of a few bare facts all that is necessary to do so, with the overview then automatically edited by the system? Or does one need to submit the entire text of what one wishes to have as the overview?
Lastly, is there a way to reallocate government expenditures, in the sense of directing a higher proportion to this segment of the pie and less to that?
Thanks to anyone who can enlighten the ignorant masses of our fledgling nation...

How many people per km/mile^2 would be feasible for a country with some decent level of modernity (like access to at least a few TV and radio channels, basic internet, everything)? And what are all the factors that go into writing about a nation's society, government, politics, the economy and foreign affairs? Please, I'm not the greatest articulate writer and I may need some help with using smarter words.

I'm currently using images and background blocks to create how my factbook looks.

I don't know man, you just got to experiment. I mean, maybe a wiki-esque format may not be what you are looking for when you want to talk about your nation. I, for example, was planning to make something like this for my own nation (and I still will, just gonna take some time). Maybe you can devise your own style with some experimentation.
Whatever suits you best for that particular post, just make sure to include a date to avoid confusion.American Union Republic wrote:I'm confused about when I should say my nation is set.
Technically, the present day in my nation is July 4th, 2176. The President of the United States has decided to write a history of the country from 2012 to the present day, and in his writing, he is currently up to the year 2014. If you check my nation's factbook right now, you will see that it is only up to 2014. However, as time goes on and the president writes more of the national history, he will gradually make his way through the 21st Century.
Of course, in the meantime, I will be posting in character on the various happenings of my nation. However, I am confused if I should post them as if the year was 2176, or as if it was whatever year in the history the president is currently writing (which is 2014).
