it helps with a myriad of things, and makes the role playing more indepth and more enjoyable.

Can you talk more about what this is about and what you posted as a default?

This section is meant for 'Roleplay' specifically to post what is called a "National Factbook". Basically it's just fictional statistics about your nation, tailored however you like it so people know exactly what your nation is like. This goes beyond what is available on your nation page, going into detail about national politics / military and other things of that nature that aren't otherwise fully explored. It's just a chance to be creative and 'RP' with your country.
