I have created this thread because quite frankly the backgrounds take too much room and clutter the first page of the thread. Perhaps other articles will be added as time goes on, particularly a timeline for year by year details on the NES. The following is organized by continent, though Europe has been split into two sections as many countries have appeared and disappeared there since the start of the NES. These backgrounds include different governments for some of the same nations, most notoriously Russia which has undergone three significant reforms since the onset of the NES. So far this is an incomplete effort and only consists of the backgrounds which have previously been available on the thread itself.
A "*" by a nation's name means that nation no longer exists as of the present date.
