Below is a template for country pages. All instances of "timeless" for "Version" and "SVersion" templates should be replaced with the version at the time of writing. Follow any instructions in comments (<nowiki><!-- They look like this on the editing page --></nowiki>).

<!-- Use the FormableCountry template for formable/releasable countries that do not exist at start; the syntax is almost identical, except that all fields are optional. -->

'''Country name''' is a RANK in REGION that is [insert brief historical, geopolitical, and/or strategic context]. Short (at most two paragraphs) description of situation in 450 A.U.C. (e.g. geographic location, starting and diplomatic situation, strengths/weaknesses, background and history during the game's timeframe, possible goals/ambitions). Use the flag template (e.g. <nowiki>{{flag|Rome}}</nowiki> if referring to other nations.

== Missions ==
{{main|COUNTRY ADJ missions}}
If the country has country or culture-specific missions, add a link to the missions page using the main article template (e.g. <nowiki>{{main|Roman missions}}</nowiki>) and write a brief summary of what the missions are about, particularly important effects like forming a new nation, changing government or culture, or releasing or acquiring new subjects. Preferably, describe all possible country-specific or cultural that the country can get, including those that only become available with specific requirements (e.g. the Greek cultural missions). Otherwise, just link to and briefly mention the generic missions, or omit the section altogether.

== Events ==
{{SVersion|Timeless}}
If the country has no events, leave out this section. If they've got 5 or more, put the events on a separate page named "country adjective events" and link it using <nowiki>{{main|Country adjective events}}</nowiki> and write a short description of what the events are about. Example event:
{{box wrapper}}
{{Event
|version = 1.4
|collapse = yes
|event_id = dhe_rome.13
|event_name = The Ascendance of Rome
|event_text = The efforts of our more belligerent senators have succeeded in persuading the majority of the Curia, and even the people of Rome, that Italia is ours. The Campus Martius is alive with the cries of our confident soldiers, and fresh haruspices reinforce the gods assent for war each day.<p>The end of the recent conflict with our enemies in Etruria and Samnium has left our Republic as the strongest power on the Italian peninsula. Our victory has firmly convinced our feudatories in the value of supporting our cause, and has shown other small states the value of being on our side.<p>Roman settlers are now moving on their own accord into the regions to our north and east, establishing new colonies, expecting our protection. All look to us, from Samnium and Etruria, to Sicily and Carthage, awaiting our next move.
|trigger =
* Owns at least one territory
* Is {{flag|Rome}}
* This event has not happened before
|triggered only = the [[Roman missions#roman_1_italia_encourage_expansion|'''Encourage Expansion''']] {{flag|Rome|0}} [[Rome|Roman]] mission task
|immediate = <!-- optional for immediate effects -->
|options = {{Option
|option_text = I sing of warfare and a man at war...
|effect = 
*
}}
}}
{{End box wrapper}}

== Formation and release requirements ==
{{SVersion|Timeless}}
If the country is a [[formable nations|formable nation]], their formation event/decision/mission task goes here. If possible, use a transclusion from the appropriate page rather than copy the event/decision/task directly (this may require adding the transclusion tags to that page). A map showing the requirements and claims given is preferred, but not necessary. If forming the country gives a different flag than the one it started with, that can be displayed in this section as well using the FormableCountry template. Leave out the section if the country is not formable. A typical formation requirements section might look like this:

 <nowiki>{{box wrapper|justify-content=space-between}}
{{#lst:Formable Nations|form_iberia}}
[[File:Form Greater Iberia.png|thumb|600px|Formation requirements for Greater Iberia. Fully coloured territories are required, while hatched territories will be claimed after formation.]]
{{end box wrapper}}</nowiki>

which becomes:
{{box wrapper|justify-content=space-between}}
{{#lst:Formable Nations|form_iberia}}
[[File:Form Greater Iberia.png|thumb|600px|Formation requirements for Greater Iberia. Fully coloured territories are required, while hatched territories will be claimed after formation.]]
{{end box wrapper}}

If a country can be formed through multiple decisions/events/missions, put them all here, each with their own individual subsection.

If the country is [[releasable nation|releasable]], the relevant event/decision/mission task should also go in subsections here, with the same format to any formation subsections. Strongly recommended if the country does not exist at the start of the game (which means that the releasing event/decision/mission task is usually the main way it appears), but generally optional if the country does exist at the start of the game (unless there is something particularly notable about the way it is released) and leave out if the country is not an event/decision/mission-specific releasable at all.

== Decisions ==
{{SVersion|Timeless}}
This section lists the unique country and culture specific decisions a nation has. Brief descriptions are desired but not necessary. If the country has no decisions, leave out this section. If the country has country-specific decisions that are shared between multiple countries (e.g. country formation decisions), add a transclusion from the appropriate page. Country-specific decisions should be placed here and then transcluded into a new section in the [[decisions]] page.

As a an example, we can use the transclusion
 <nowiki>{{#lst:Formable Nations|reunite_alexanders_empire_decision}}</nowiki>
to get:
{{#lst:Formable Nations|reunite_alexanders_empire_decision}}
Note that transclusion tags may need to be added to the decision page if they do not exist already.

== Strategy ==
{{SVersion|Timeless}}
{{add|Strategy}}
If you don't have a strategy for the country, simply put "<nowiki>{{add|Strategy}}<!-- If writing a guide, please use 3rd person language (the player/Rome) rather than 1st (I/we) or 2nd (you) person language. </nowiki>" in this section.

Other than following the [[style guidelines]], write anything you feel might be useful in the guide.

== Achievements ==
List out all country, culture, or religion specific achievements using the achievement template, e.g.:
 <nowiki>{{Achievement|Carthago Delenda Est|As Rome, own and sack Carthage.|64px|link=off}}</nowiki>

which becomes:
{{Achievement|Carthago Delenda Est|As Rome, own and sack Carthage.|64px|link=off}}

If the country is a formable, achievements that involve forming the country should also go here.

<!-- Finally, leave the following at the end of the page, replacing "Europe" with the continent the country is on (your strategy will only be added to this box if it is at least B-ranked):
{{country navbox|Europe}} -->
[[category:Countries|!]]<!-- only for this style guide; NOT NEEDED on country pages -->
