This page has been put together to demonstrate the new infocard and infobox templates. The codes that generate what is seen in the templates is marked accordingly.

The infocard is designed to provide a concise introduction to a territory with a map that can be easily browsed. The other boxes provide flexible and detailed themes and are reusable on the various subpages (e.g. "Government of…" or "Infrastructure of…").

| intro = '''Mauretia''', officially the '''Royal Dominion of Mauretia''' (Maurit: ''Melknas Mauretia''), is a country located in southwestern [[Uletha]] along the [[Sea of Uthyra]]. It borders [[Sathria]] to the north and [[UL205b]] to the east. The largest city is [[Iola]], which also serves as one of the nation's most prominent port cities. Its largest port is in the second largest city, Tangia. Mauretia's government is a constitutional parliamentary monarchy with powers split between the head of state and the parliament. The seat of the legislative branch and most government facilities are concentrated in Iola; but the monarch resides at the {{relation|124868|Regia Daneloza}} in nearby Qolna Mauretana. Mauretia is also a very religious country, and its state religion is an indigenous branch of the Christic movement. Freedom to worship and proselytize other faiths is guaranteed by the constitution, and there remains a small pagan minority that has seen a revival of practices since the 1700s.

Mauretia was first settled by Ponqtai, Fonti, and Azigri peoples in antiquity. They established trading colonies around the region. Its strategic minerals and fertile coastal lands made it an ideal place for Hellanisian and later Romantish expansion. Mauretia was on the far fringes of the Romatish empire, when it was conquered in the second century BC during a brief war. The native Azigri and Fonti populations became heavily Romantisized by the time their trading network collapsed in the late 5th century. The sub-Romantish kingdoms in Mauretia survived the turbulent next two centuries until unification took place in the 7th century by King Akasil and his daughter, Queen Daya. Daya's work expanded and promoted the fledgling trade links, and Mauretia quickly emerged as a major regional sea-faring power. Despite some civil strife in the 12th–15th centuries, Mauretia has remained a monarchy and remained oriented to trade. Over the last two centuries, the nation has fostered a highly developed banking system along with a blooming fishing industry, stable mining industry, and growing production in chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.

==Snapshots==
Snapshots are a way to highlight specific bits of information that may be important enough to offset but do not qualify as a separate article per the wiki policy. The most common snapshot is for individual people. By default, snapshots are collapsed and always float to the right side of the page. This means that editors should consider how they appear in an article both collapsed and expanded. Snapshots '''should be used sparingly''' but can afford some flexibility to a content creator.

===People===
{{Snapshot person

| date1 = 1477
| loc1 = Qolna Mauretana
| date2 = 1551
| loc2 = Iola

| portrait = Retábulo_da_Rainha_Santa_Isabel,_século_XVI_(Museu_Nacional_de_Machado_de_Castro).png
| paragraph = Avigela IV, reigned 1501—1551, was the queen of Mauretia from the Salerioi Sansu-Paulo house. She is regarded as a national hero in Mauretia for her political reforms that both preserved the monarchy but also created the modern democratic structures. Avigela IV was the daughter of King Yeremiahu I and his wife Lua. She ascended to the throne at a relatively young age, after her father died from tuberculosis. Her mother was her closest advisor at first, but she confided most in her husband, king consort Iaqomo (married in 1513, over a decade into her reign). Avigela IV was also a fervent religious leader, who emphasized piety and religious lifestyles throughout her reign. She is regarded as a saint in the Mauroi Church, having been canonized in 1803.
