I think it would be nice to add a population and area claimed colums to the List of Micronations page. The population column would document the current size of a nation's citizenry, not the totoal population of the claimed territory. You can't exact taxes or loyalty from people who don't consider themselves a part of your country, so these people shouldn't be called citizens. An area claimed column would document the size of a nation's claimed land-based territory in square kilometers, rounded to the nearest hundreth (unless, of course, that nation is really small, in which case round to the nearest significant digit). Also, who should be in the leader column, the HOG or the HOS, or both? I know the HOG usually has most of the power in a country, but the HOS is often the seen as the personification of a nation. As the HOS and HOG of New Starland, I consider my task as the HOS more important, mainly because I head a direct democracy and my only function as the HOG is to break tie votes (kinda impossible with an odd-numbered population). Latsly, I think it would be nice to have a government type column, but this may be pushing the space limit for the article, and since it's somewhat covered by another article I'd rather use that space for population and land area.
