CWBP 2 : Templates discussion

[Azélor]

Here is the place to suggest or discuss the templates for future use:

I will start with a template for countries. It comes in two parts. The first is a quick description on some aspects of the country. The second is more lengthy description that goes into more details. These are just ideas in order to make a good template. I have figured out that not every information is useful and it's also important to know how to communicate that information. For example: I think it's better to talk about the GDP using qualitative descriptors than numbers.

I know it's messy but I tried to include many ideas and I was not sure as for what words are better to use (partly because I speak french).
