Youch, that's messy in IE7. Lovely though it may be, that 30-50% of
our audience would not be happy...

On another note, wow. I hadn't realised how much stuff was in our
infoboxes. The five lines of government I can understand, the two GDPs
ditto, but do we really need a quick-reference for "proportion of area
which is water", the Gini coefficient, or the side of the road it
uses?
