Suggestions

• Certain articles are defined by the ubiquitous language. That is, they are lists with a definition relating directly to game concepts. UL articles include:
  • Tela (no list for obvious reasons)
  • Nation
  • Continent
  • Ethnicity
  • Religion
  • Government (with HoS and HoG)
  • Politics
  • Economy
  • Party
  • Currency
  • City
  • Territory

• Some do not relate to game concepts but should be treated similarly, including:
  • Ocean
  • Language
  • Civilisation

• Nation pages should be named for the short form with the long form re-directing there. For example, the article is called Greater Islonia with Kingdom of Greater Islonia re-directing there, if necessary.
• Political ideology articles should contain a brief overview of the beliefs and philosophy of the system followed by a brief history of the development of the ideology and its implementation.
• Fill in information on continents (particularly history and geography), ethnicities, ideologies (both religious and political). Eventually this will come together as a global history. Do not "zoom in" to the nation level: this would be best left to players. That is, define a nation geographically and give it a small description but do not elaborate. Nations will work within the framework set out by the continent article that's been written.
