Suggestions
[edit]First off, I find the "land use" distinctions to be vague and obscure. I understand this is probably the distinction the CIA World Factbook uses, but we should at least link to an article with an explanation of these four categories, perhaps by Wikilinking the "Land use" title. Also, is "forests and woodlands" a land use? Unless you're logging the area for wood, it's more a non-use of the land.
I caution against using climate in infoboxes (just in case someone decides to put it in). Many countries are large enough to have several different climates.
Other possible items for inclusion (if we could get the data) are longest river, largest lake etc. How about something to do with seismology? Number of active volcanoes? USGS Earthquake risk rating? I think we should break out from the stock-standard CIA World Factbook data. It might be public domain, but it's overwhelmingly crap. - Mark 01:38, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
