Sannse,
In your email to other wikipedia monitors/admins, I would appreciate a note that CountryGuide provides a full reciprocal deep-link back to the appropriate country. And, while I understand that you may not think they are useful (no offense taken -I understand the issue of spamming a directory), the general public seems to think otherwise. CountryGuide is being developed along the same lines as StateGuide which (surprisingly to me, too) is receiving good reviews as a reference utility. See:

Respectfully,
Bob Jordan
