We now have an extensive and linked list of imaginary countries, including

My question is, so what? Wikipedia is not paper. If you think it's excessive, then don't contribute to it.
The real problem is that most of the entries are being written in CIA World Factbook style, not Wikipedia style.
I would like to think that we are trying to put together a serious encyclopedia. It has nothing to do with whether we are paper or not.
