The {{country|Action|CountryName}} template is used to display various information about a country.

Required parameters

• The first parameter is a "what to display" selector, supported are the values "flagcountry", "flagicon", "flag", "name"
• The second parameter is the name of the country

Examples:

• {{country|flagcountry|France}} =  France   → use: {{flagcountry|France}} =  France
• {{country|flagicon|France}} =   → use: {{flagicon|France}} =
• {{country|flag|France}} =  France   → use: {{flag|France}} =  France
• {{country|name|France}} = France

Using an alias name for the country:

• {{country|flagcountry|FRA}} =  France   → use: {{flagcountry|FRA}} =  France
• {{country|flagicon|FRA}} =   → use: {{flagicon|FRA}} =
• {{country|flag|FRA}} =  FRA   → use: {{flag|FRA}} =  FRA
• {{country|name|FRA}} = France

Accessing the values of the country data templates (see template:country data France):

• {{country|get alias|France}} = France
• {{country|get alias|FRA}} = France
• {{country|get flag alias|France}} = Flag of France.svg
• {{country|get flag alias|FRA}} = Flag of France.svg

Optional parameters

An optional "size" parameter can be given:

• {{country|flagcountry|France|name=C'est la France}} =  C'est la France   → use: {{flagcountry|France|name=C'est la France}} =  C'est la France

Country data

The actual values what to display are stored in country data templates (see also Category:Country data templates), which are selected by the second parameter. Examples:

Call	Country data template used
{{flagcountry|France}} =  France	Template:Country data France (edit talk links history)
{{flagcountry|FRA}} =  France	Template:Country data FRA (edit talk links history) (redirects to template:country data France

Formatters

The "how to display" logic is separated into formatter templates (these contain no data besides some defaults):

Call	Formatter template used
{{flagcountry|France}} =  France	Template:Country flagcountry2 (edit talk links history)
{{flagicon|France}} =	Template:Country flagicon2 (edit talk links history)
{{flag|France}} =  France	Template:Country flag2 (edit talk links history)
{{country|name|France}} = France	Template:Country name2 (edit talk links history)
