''The first section of the country article does not have a heading. This is the place for rhetorical flourish, not a list of dry facts; try to leave detailed information on history, culture, etc, for the '''Understand''' section. While some identifying information about the country can be useful (so that the traveller has some idea what you're talking about), the main purpose of the lead paragraph is to hook the reader's interest.''

''Most countries can and should be [[Project:geographical hierarchy#Dividing geographical units|divided]] into smaller areas, called "regions", with articles about each region giving more detailed information. This helps us deal with large or complex countries. Instead of listing 10,000 cities on the [[United States of America]] country article, for example, we have 13 regions (New England, The Southwest, etc.), most of which contain a number of states, each of which may have its own regions, and so on down to the cities, each of which has (or will have) its own guide.''

''Try to divide up a country into traditional or well-agreed regions, according to the guidelines on the [[Project:geographical hierarchy|geographical hierarchy]] page. List them here, with links to the article pages for each region, and a short description of the region to give travelers some idea of what the region is about. If a country is so small or so unpopulated that it doesn't really need to be divided into regions, leave this section out.''

feel free to change the name of this header to "Counties", "States", etc. Remember, though, that legal divisions don't always make the best divisions for a travel guide.''
