- Given that it's unlikely that 100% of the nations of any region will come to the wiki and update their pages, I've delinked the unused names as well. Adding links is easy enough once a nation arrives to update their own page. I'll also point out that creating basic nation pages for all nations in a region is considered spamming the wiki, per NSwiki:policy.
- As a side note, it's been my experience that listing all the nations in a region is likely to produce more headaches than it solves. A better solution is to post links to all region members with a wiki article about their nation. That way, nations can come and go from the region at will without the region article needing constant updates. → Fris Θtalk 14:41, 8 Dec 2004 (GMT)
