WikiProject Former countries is a collaboration for articles about countries that existed in history, but no longer exist as political entities. The project will work towards defining a structure and formulate a template forformer sovereign states. For the scope of articles seeCategory:Former countries.
A list is also availableWikipedia:WikiProject Former countries/Status (not updated – this list should eventually be superseded after all entries have been assessed).
No parent WikiProjects are defined. However, a level of coordination with WikiProjects likeWikiProject Countries,WikiProject Limited recognition andWikiProject History is desirable.
