This Infobox template is used to generate a right-hand infobox in articles about real (or bullshit) countries or territories. It was designed by a crack team of thoroughly-whipped code monkeys to be as versatile as possible without making it too complicated for visitors or touring wikipedians.

Syntax

Required fields

There are none. Because that's how we roll, bitches.

Full field listing

Remember, all fields are completely optional. If you can't come up with a good joke for a particular field, don't use it! Heck, don't use this infobox at all. You're probably better off without it. If you must use this infobox, be funny. Or else...

• Nasty little little gremlins will infest your computer
• ...and then nothing will happen, because nobody cares...
• ...and then a raccoon will eat your face.

Sadly, few insurance policies cover "face devoured by raccoons." Don't let this happen to YOU!

Usage

Wildcard fields

There are two "wildcard" and four "favorite_object" fields, for a total of six fields which you can use for adding non-standard data. For example, if you wished to create the field "Total Population with More Than Two Brain Cells", and associate the value "approx. 7" with it, you might add this when invoking the template in your page:

{{Infobox Country
...
|favourite_object_title1 = Total Population with More Than Two Brain Cells
|favourite_object_name1 = approx. 7
...
}}

Or you might do it this way:

{{Infobox Country
...
|wildcard_title1 = Total Population with More Than Two Brain Cells
|wildcard_name1 = approx. 7
...
}}

Either way will work; the only difference between "favourite_object_title#" and "wildcard_title#" is that a "favourite_object" will display before a "wildcard".

Editing the template

First off, don't. You don't know what you're doing.

If you think you do know what you're doing, please first try to get familiar with it, and use a sandbox for testing. If you must add a field, do be a dear and add your new field to the DOCUMENTATION above.
