==Usage==
Use this template to create a "''Name'' topics" template for the country{{\}}territory{{\}}region called ''Name''.
To see how, it's probably easiest to look at one or more of the templates in one of the subcategories of [[:Category:Country and territory topics templates]]
===Syntax===
Below is a basic syntax. If the area involved isn't a country, the template's name and first parameter should be renamed accordingly, i.e. to <code>{{((}}Territory topics</code> followed by <code>{{!}}territory = ''Name''</code>; otherwise, <code>{{((}}Region topics</code> followed by <code>{{!}}region = ''Name''</code> .

It's possible to add, remove or amend various features of the template (e.g. suppress the appearance of a flag in the titlebar). What and how is described in the rest of the documentation.
Because this is a metatemplate for templates in categories such as [[:Category:Country and territory topics templates]], it provides the layout that appears to have evolved for the majority of these templates:
:* A titlebar featuring a flag icon followed by a country or area's name followed by the word "topics";
<!----------
:* A line between the template's titlebar and main body (the "above" line) that carries a link or links to an outline and/or index article;
----------->
:* Five fundamental topic areas: History, Geography, Politics, Economy, Culture;
:* A line below the template's main body (the "below" line) that carries a link or links to a Wikipedia category, index article, outline article, or [[Wikipedia:Portal|portal]].
Although standardized, much of the above can be customized via the template's parameters.
