Sections
Articles may consist of the following sections:
* History -
Details of the origin of the name should be placed in this section; if there is sufficient material an Etymology subsection should be created within the History section. An outline of the major events in the country's history (about 4 to 6 paragraphs, depending on complexity of history), including some detail on current events. If the history section grows large enough for a sub-article it should be named "History of X", and a link provided.

* Politics -
Overview of the current governmental system, possibly previous forms, some short notes on the parliament. Sub-article: "Politics of X"

Overview of the administrative subdivisions of the country. Name the section after the first level of subdivisions (and subsequent levels, if available) (e.g. provinces, states, departments, districts, etc.) and give the English equivalent name, when available. Also include overseas possessions. This section should also include an overview map of the country and subdivisions, if available.
