Country name is a SIZE country in REGION. Short (at most two paragraphs) description of situation in 1444. If the country has a unique startup intro it can be added before the player's written intro using the {{startup}}
template.
Any on-page content as as formation, events, decisions, and etc. should be added using the wiki's transclusion ability.
Contents
Formation
If the country is a formable country, their formation requirements go here. Otherwise, leave out the section. Almost all country formation decision are transcluded from the formation decisions page. Example:

Global expansion in newly discovered areas and the establishment of colonies is transforming Spain into one of the most powerful and wealthiest nations of our time. Spanish explorers are constantly moving into new lands and extending our borders. Immense amounts of gold and silver are being brought back to our motherland, filling the coffers of our state Treasury.

Events
- Main article: Spanish events
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 {{main|Country adjective events}}
and write a short description of what the events are about. If there are less than 5 events add them to Unique national events page in the country's section. Major events can be shown here using transclusion. Example event:
Isabella of Castile
Trigger conditions

Missions
- Main article: European missions
Write a short description of what the missions are about and link the article using the {{main}}
template at the top of the section. If the country has no unique missions, link the appropriate generic mission tree (list can be found here).
For example: XYZ has no unique mission tree and as such uses the European set of missions.
Decisions
- Main article: List of decision lists
The "Decisions" section follows the same instructions as the "Events" section. Example decision:
Construct the Kiel Canal
Construct the Suez Canal
Construct the Panama Canal

Strategy

If you don't have a strategy for the country, simply put {{add|strategy}}
. If a strategy guide exists add {{add/strategy}}
instead.
Though a strict adherence to the style guidelines is not enforced, please try to follow it as much as possible -- use 3rd person language (the player/England) rather than 1st (I/we) or 2nd (you) person language, don't use too much icons to keep section readable, and be sure to apply some general common sense. If a guide is bad (offensive or too incomprehensible) it will still be removed.
Other than above, write anything you feel might be useful in the guide.
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):
