The first step in getting your nation's presence established as part of the collection of regional pages is to create a page dedicated to your nation. To create a page or make any edits to existing pages, you will need to have an IIWiki account; accounts can be created by clicking the "create account" button in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Once you have your own account, you need to create the page for your nation. The most direct way to do this will be to search for the name of your nation in the search box; assuming no such page exists you should be presented with the option to create a page with that name. The next step will be to add an infobox to your page; the country infobox is a box that will appear on the side of your nation's page to provide an at-a-glance summary of some simple information about your nation.

A full copy of the infobox template can be found here, copy and paste it into the editing window for your page. This template contains comments describing what information should go on each line (the comments will not appear in the infobox when the page is saved). Please note that any lines left blank will not appear on the infobox, so do not worry about needing to fill in every line. Once you have filled in the infobox to your liking, you may begin typing the text for the page proper below it in the editor. The first block of text on your page should provide a basic paragraph summary of your nation like any standard wiki page.

From here, you can begin adding sections and subsections to add more detail to your page as you please. Section headings can be created by surrounding your desired heading in a pair of equal signs (e.g. ==Culture==). Subsection headings can be created with double equal signs, and so on. Once you have created your nation page it is recommended that you add yourself to our table of nations on the main Anteria page. For this step I would recommend viewing the source for the Anteria page and examining how the table is structured in the wikicode. From there it should be simple matter of copying how other nations are entered into the table for your own nation. If you are still unsure of how to precisely add yourself to the table, contact one of the specialist nations listed below for assistance. I must also stress that you abide by the guidelines given in the first section of this guide during this process.
