Category talk:Nations

Criteria for inclusion/exclusion

Can the criteria for inclusion in Category:Nations be documented on the category page and in Help:Writing an article about a place?

Additionally:

• Should the articles categorized in Category:Historical nations also be categorized in Category:Nations, or is the subcategorization of Category:Historical nations in Category:Nations sufficient?
  • If not, a bot job should remove all nations that are in both categories from Category:Nations, except for oddballs like Eurythnia and Edasseril that genuinely do belong in both as revived historical nations.
• Does a higher-level category, such as Category:Polities or Category:Territorial entities, need to exist to encompass things like city-states, colonies, and stateless settlements that aren't clearly categorizable as Category:Nations?

If not:

• Should the articles categorized in Category:City-states also be categorized in Category:Nations?
• Should Category:Colonies be categorized in Category:Nations?
