Guide: creating a nation page

## Create the "Nation" infobox. The option is located in "Insert" button

Insert a picture (for example, your nation flag) by writing it's name into "image1" section.

## Government

### Protectorate(s)/vassal(s)

If you don't have anything to write in category like this one, just don't write anything. It won't appear

## History

### Founded

Don't worry about the timeline. It's screwed here anyway. Just use IRL calendar

This page serves as a short example/guide about how to create a page describing your nation. The general intent is to teach even the most inexperienced user to work with the wiki editing and give him a chance to comfortably write about his nation.

##### First off: some basics:

1. Your nation needs to have **a symbol** (flag, sigil, seal, etc) to display on the wiki. It is also nice to showcase some **screenshots** of your achievements and **art** for your lore. To post pictures, find the "Upload New File" button and post whatever you are going to use on the wiki. Remember to give your pics simple names, since the wiki editor can be quite clunky and not show new pictures in the visual editor. In that case you will need to write in pic names in the source editor.
2. There are two kinds of editor tools: **visual editor** is very easy to manage. You can easily change the look of your paragraphs, create headings and sub-headings, insert links and infoboxes. **Source editor** can be used to fix any shit that you can't solve with visual editor. You can also use it to copy the code of this page and use it as a template for your own.
3. All text must be written in this standard form. **Bold,** *Italic* and Underline are to be used only in specific cases.
4. Remember to add **categories** to the page

## Examples of good nation pages

Dauntier of Mycopadre — a very nice and convenient to read page with visual info and screenshots

Ekoriann, Erigi Peoples — a bit long and lacks visual information, but it does the job at describing nation in detail

## Geography

Write about your nations placement and surrounding terrain. Give names to rivers and mountains, deserts and steppes. Bordering nations and peoples are also recommended to include.

## History

One of the most important parts of your nation. Without a good lore and inspiring purpose noone will want to join your dirthouse. Write about the non-existent events of your nations past, about mythical great people and powers. You can reflect certain parts of your lore by building things related to it and attaching screenshots.

In-game history is also an important topic you can write about.

## Government

Pretty straightforward. Write about your political system, social hierarchy and tendencies in your nation. Authoritarian? Democratic? Hierarchical? Mixed? Secluded? Isolationist? Constitutional? Only for you to decide.

## Culture

One of the most ambiguous yet fun elements to write about. It is hard to write about culture of non-existent people, especially when players don't try to roleplay it. Write about race, ethnical makeup of your nation, tendencies in culture, background of the first peoples who settled your cities, views on certain aspects of life, cuisine, genders and etc. There is a lot your imagination can create here.

## And more...

Religion? Trade? Titles? Cities? That can also be described on your nation page. However, it is generally advised to separate your content and create specific pages for specific topics. It is hard to read a big, unending wall of text in one page, especially if it is not supported by visual content. Do not be shy about creating a few more pages about different sides of your nation.
