[edit] Kosovo
kosovo isn't recognized as state. Only some conturies has recognized Kosovo. So I sugest to make notice that kosovo isn't recognized. In this template you haven't put informations about Sukhumi - Abkhazia. So, I sugest to make new part with disputet teritories and to add this conturies --Јованвб (talk) 11:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Subdivisions
The current divisions in to N/E/S/W is a little suspect... Vienna is not in Western Europe by any geographical measure you care to use, especially bearing in mind that Prague is labelled as Eastern Europe (along with places as far east as Yerevan) despite being considerably further west than Vienna. The standard terminlogy used for Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary etc is Central Europe and this template should reflect this with a fifth category. Knepflerle (talk) 13:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

- No complaints, so was bold and made the update using the CIA World Factbook as my source. There are several different definitons of these regions, but this is a well-established source which seems to be consistent on this matter both with our articles and with wider publications.

- CIA World FB can't necessarily serve as a reference for this, especially since the some content has been imported and revised elsewhere in WP. I made few fixes, restoring some of the previous versions. -- User:Docu

[edit] UK
Why are the subdivisions of the UK listed, and those of other states not? Fasach Nua (talk) 15:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Which other states have a similar geo-political structure to the UK? If there are other countries which consist of "countries within countries", then they should also probably be listed in a similar way.--Setanta747 (talk) 19:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- You could look at Spain with the Basque Country, the Catalan Countries all of which have their own devolved governments, Bavaria has its own citizenship, beyond than of German citizenship, and the Ukraine has the Crimea, and I am sure there are many more, geography isnt my strong point, I see nothing that makes the UK special beyond the fact that English speakers would be more familiar with it Fasach Nua (talk) 07:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Also, I'd like to take the opportunity to discuss the question of the capital of England here. Although I consider London established as the de facto capital of England (as well as being the capital of the UK), I understand Fasach's query with regard to this as England has no government of its own. (see also the discussion on my talk page). --Setanta747 (talk) 19:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that the inclusion of the UK subdivisions looks odd unless others are included as well. This would increase the number of cities listed considerably. -- User:Docu
