'''{{tl|Nation}}''' is for use in any article about a nation in the [[Pathfinder campaign setting]]. Some parameters are ''optional'' and can be left blank; if undefined, these optional parameters will not appear as part of the template.

This template is based upon the [[frw:Template:Book|Book Template]] and the [[frw:Template:Deity|Deity Template]] located at the [[frw:Main_Page|Forgotten Realms Wiki]].

; traits ''(optional)'': The nation's traits, introduced in 2E, represent certain mechanical classifications for the nation, such as its alignment and possibly other traits. They are found in the colour-coded horizontal list near the top of a nation's stat block. Use the correct 2e trait box, {{tl|2eTrait}}, such as <nowiki>{{2eTrait|NG}}</nowiki> for {{2eTrait|NG}} in this line: see the example and [[Template:2eTrait]] for a bigger selection. These boxes are shown at the top of the infobox. '''It's fine to omit this if there is not a statblock for the organization in 2E.'''

; image ''(optional)'': An image or map of the nation's location. Should be given without <code>[[]]</code> or any settings.

; name ''(optional)'': The name of the nation.

; titles ''(optional)'': Titles or alternate names that represent the nation.

; land ''(optional)'': This optional field should only be used to name a larger land in which an independent nation is incorporated, for instance a kingdom within the [[Lands of the Linnorm Kings]] or the [[River Kingdoms]].

; alignment ''(optional)'': The general [[alignment]] of the nation.

; capital ''(optional)'': The name of the capital of the nation.

; ruler ''(optional)'' : The name of the current ruler of the nation.

; government ''(optional)'' : The type of government in place. Examples include democracy, theocracy, monarchy, magocracy, despot, tribal chieftain.

; natives ''(optional)'': The demonym for the nation: the word used to describe a native of the nation.

; adjective ''(optional)'': The adjective used to describe entities of or pertaining or relating to the nation.

; languages ''(optional)'': The most-commonly spoken languages of the nation.

; religions ''(optional)'': The dominant religions of the nation.

; regionmap ''(optional)'': A map showing the nation's location in a wider region. Recommended size is 150px, but if larger the image should scale to fit the template.

; imagesof ''(optional)'': The name of the category that contains images of this nation, which appears in the infobox as a link to the category page. For instance, an '''imagesof''' value of {{xt|Alkenstar}} create a link to [[:Category:Images of Alkenstar]] with the link text "Images of Alkenstar". This parameter is case-sensitive.

; source & page ''(optional)'': The source wherein the nation was first published or from which the most information is available. Link the title, and include page number if possible. Use this '''only''' if you have a source and page '''for either 1E or 2E, but not both'''.

; 1e-source, 1e-page, 2e-source, & 2e-page ''(optional)'': The source wherein the nation was first mentioned, or from which the most information is available, in both 1E and 2E. Link the title, and include page number if possible. Use this '''only''' if you have a source and page '''for both editions'''.

== Example ==

The infobox at the top of this page is constructed by adding the following data to the standard nation template. Please note that not all of the lines are used, for instance 'land', and such omissions are just left blank on the page: this is by design.
