This template provides an overview of the OLPC activity in a country. You call the template filling in all the parameters, where some of the parameters are special numbers.

Here's an example of what to put in your wiki page:

{{Country_box|
  Country=Brazil|
  Code=BR |              
  Wikipedia=Brazil|
  Territory=2|
  Support=7|
  Deployment=4|
  Keyboard=Spanish Layout|
  Spoken=Spanish|

  Spoken2=English}}

These are the parameters:

  • Country - ISO country name
  • Code - ISO two letter country code
  • Wikipedia - The name of the English Wikipedia article unless its just the country ame
  • Territory - Code for geographic group of countries, a number

The template works pretty well although floating tables can always have troubles with very wide pages.
