Here's what I think:
-advertisements for all micronations that choose to participate -a general explanation of micronationalism, written for people who have no idea what a micronation is -a test that will match you with a micronation -a listing of available jobs in participating micronations -an article on what's currently going on in every participating micronation -links page -categorical index
Please feel free to add your thoughts!
This message will be edited only to add items to the list.

Thanks for the suggestion, Nate. I am going to call it a links page, and will add to the list.

How about accurate nation profiles? Micronation.co.nr (or whatever the name of it is) currently has a horrible habit of not getting micronation profiles accurate and has tended to ignore proper information provided by some nations in threads related to the development of that site.

A page describing six or seven different categories of micronations, and listing some of each category.

Scott, Thank you for your interest in the project!
Sir Matthew, Scott, and others: Taking into consideration the recent two suggestions, I have decided that we will include a categorical index. What these categories will be remains to be seen, however I plan to have every participating nation in the categorical index, and when you click on the name, it will take you to Ras Noseworthy's profile.

I'll see what I can do to come up with a generic profile form for participating nations to fill out and return to the project for posting on the site. The major problem I find with the profiles on the Micronational Definitive Index is that they don't conform to one real standard - some of the English nation profiles are still in Dutch, and the information in the profiles varies considerably between the different nation entries. We need a more concise standard for this site to become the primary resource for micronationalists looking to find out about other nations.
On that point, I don't think the profile template should include a brief history of the micronation as "brief" can sometimes be misinterpreted. Also that's what MicroWiki and other such projects are for. This project should include profiles that mimic the system used in such publications as the CIA Factbook.

The format of the form is up to you with regards to how it's presented on the site, but here is some of the information I recommend be included with each entry: NAME OF NATION Formal Name: Common Name: POPULATION Total citizens: # (as of [[date]]) Macronationality: [

Wow, thanks Scott!
I've kept it pretty much intact, but I've just edited your post to make a few changes.
