Writing guidelines: Realms
In addition to the general Writing Guidelines, articles on political states should be in the following format; note that some subjects will not require every section: The Greyhawk Realm infobox should be used for all realm articles, with as many values filled in as possible. The infobox should include the realm's official name (eg, "Kingdom of Furyondy," not simply "Furyondy"), and whenever possible, should feature the heraldic device of the realm. The introductory sentence should include both the state's common and full name, as well as general location (Flanaess, Solnor Ocean, etc).
