== Nation Name (or you can call this "Description") ==<br />This is where you can write general details on your nation, such as location, date it started, basic history, members, etc. You may want to put specifics only in the infobox of the nation, but it's totally up to you. Because nations are larger and more important they also have much higher standards than town or player articles. Nations need a flag and or banner on the wiki, however there are no standards as long as it's not edgy for no reason or otherwise randomly retarded. It's lenient though and at moderator discretion. This description will probably be much longer than that of other pages. Infoboxes are required.<br />== History ==<br />This section is NOT optional, as it will end up being the bulk of your article. It is however lenient and not much has to be written, as long as it has some subdivisions. Subdividing should be done in longer, broader time periods, and then smaller specific ones. How long or short you want each period to be is totally up to you. At first using only one subdivision if fine, but unlike player articles nations tend to have a lot of history so it's required to eventually add more. If you have trouble making more subdivisions or writing about the history of the town contact a mod.
<br />'''The Republic of Yap''' (''Informal'' '''Yap''') is a nation located primarily on and surrounding the Island of Yap. Its was born out of a convenience agreement between the two leaders Baxterblue and SurelyYouJestin and since has grown to encompass multiple towns.<br />
Subdividing has always been really inconsistent so this is not final, but its better to use headings as intended. So for example:<br />=== ''Have a Sub-heading 1 as the first one in a group'' ===<br />==== And Sub-heading 2 for specifics ====<br />Italicizing or bolding the first group makes it a lot easier to see in different to the smaller ones so its recommended.
== History ==
I would not recommend subheading 3 because it looks tiny and makes things weird
'''''Prehistory'''''
otherwise feel free to write whatever history you want here
Not much is known about the island of Yap prior to February 2019. The Island was mostly undisturbed with only a makeshift diving board and underground base was present on the island being the only signs of player activity
Heres an example:<br />=== ''Early History'' ===<br />==== Template1 ====<br />After extensive talks with EchoOcelot Paperpikmin established a new German state in order to recreate the German nation. Initially success was seen, with a new town established and Berlin regained. This slowed as Paperpikmin became incredibly busy off the server. Nonetheless as November arrived the nation saw continued legitimacy and growth, however it is slow due to the major towns of Leipzig and Hamburg proving enormous obstacle. Many new alliances were quickly established, and diplomatic talks were made initially.
'''''Early History''''' <br />Surely You Jestin arrived on the island in late February with the intent of creating a underwater city eventually. Baxterblue arrived a few days later and the two decided to combine their collective gold to found the Town of Yap on [insert date] under the agreement of SurelyYouJestin having full control of the sea and Baxterblue the island. With this agreement in place the construction of Rapture began.
==== Template2 ====<br />As you can see, it looks relatively neat when there is enough text in each subdivision, so this is the recommended route to take.
'''''The Great March to the Ocean Floor''''' <br />The start of the Grand Staircase of Rapture marked the beginning of this brief era. during this time SurelyYouJestin launched several diplomatic and raiding missions out of desperation to get more gold for land with the most notable being dubbed the "Siege of Nairobi." This era came to an end early March.
== Government ==<br />It's important and as such required to add how the government of the nation functions. Obviously anything secretive can be left out entirely, but outright wrong information is not okay. If this creates conflict contact a wiki mod about the issue. This can be very simple (EX Sealand is a monarchy with an emperor who rules all affairs of state, diplomacy, and military), or incredibly complicated, as long as theirs something.
'''''Medieval Era''''' <br />After the Grand Staircase was completed buildings started to pop up all over Rapture while Baxterblue mined gold in hopes to found a nation. however during this time not much of note happened other then the beginning of Rapture's expansion development.
== Military ==<br />Additionally it's important to write about the military, whether there is one or not. Like government this can be very simple or very complicated at your discretion. If a nation only uses militia, feel free to just write that or detail them. If a nation has no military whatsoever and refuses to ever fight, that's another relevant point and should be discussed in the tab.
'''''Modern Era'''''
== Buildings ==<br />This can also be named Architecture/World wonders/whatever. This will be required for new wiki pages on nations in addition to town pages, but nations can obviously use buildings from any member town or any "territory" it owns. Natural wonders are perfectly fine as well.
On April 9th 2019 the Republic of Yap was officially founded. With this goal finally achieved most of the gold generated by Baxterblue went towards the town and combined with SurelyYouJestin buying a new mouse caused development of Rapture to rapidly increase. Since then 2 more towns have been incorporated into Yap
== Notable People ==<br />This is a required field to detail important members of the town historically or currently, so it's easier to tell which people are in which area and to get a better idea of the region. This can be organized in a list, for example:<br />* Player 1<br />* Player 2<br />* WTF<br />* Player 3
== Government <br /> ==

== National Subdivisions ==<br />This isn't required but is highly recommended to help add space and add meat to your article, mostly for larger or federal nations. This refers to towns, states, provinces, autonomous regions, or other smaller sections of a nation that can be described individually. This IS optional however. This is specified so it's more clear, for example you could have a subdivision for each province or colony. Generally it's at your discretion.<br />== Other Recommended Headings ==<br />The following are not required but it's recommended to have at least something extra for your town page. Most are applicable to most nations.<br />* Political Affiliation<br />* Political Parties<br />* Politics<br />* Economics (This may be made required depending on it's role in terra nova)<br />* Diplomacy (highly, highly, highly recommended)<br />* Maps<br />* Pictures<br />* Culture<br />* Navy (gl making this work though lol)<br />* Anything else that isn't ridiculous and can with reason fit into the wiki
