Template:Infobox country/doc

Full documentation available here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_country/doc

Usage

This infobox template is used to generate an infobox for the right-hand side of two specific types of article: on a country or a former country (use for territory or on a geopolitical organisation is not recommended, unlike in the original source). Parameter syntax and examples are detailed in the collapsed sections immediately below.
