Creating Countries on Notebook.ai
Kingdoms, countries, regions: you decide what international borders look like in your story.
Creating countries on Notebook.ai is easy.
To get started, just click Countries under the "Worldbuilding" header in the site sidebar. You'll be able to see or edit all of your existing country pages and create new ones at any time. You can also customize your Country template for all of your pages here.
Search your countries
If you've got a lot of countries, you can quickly get around to the right one with Notebook.ai's full-text search. It searches your entire notebook for anything you wrote about that country.
You can also filter your countries by tag, whether you've favorited that page, and which universe it's in.
Private by default
Your ideas are valuable. Every country you create in Notebook.ai is owned by you, completely private by default, and only accessible to you.
But of course, you also have full control over that privacy and can share any country page you want, however you want, whenever you want.
Countries are a Premium page
Country notebook pages require an active Premium subscription to create, but users on free plans can view and edit their existing country pages at any time.
Notebook.ai is your personal worldbuilding notebook; any page you create is yours forever and you'll never lose access to any part of it for any reason — even if you downgrade to a free account in the future.
flag Get a head start with a detailed, customizable country template
You can fill out as little or as much as you'd like on every new country. You'll see progress indicators every time you edit it to show where you can make progress on and our system will intelligently generate questions for you around the site that will automatically save your answers to the proper place on your country page.
Templates are also fully customizable across every country in your notebook.
You can browse the default template for countries here; just click a category to see the questions it starts with.

To focus on a single universe, simply select it from the top-left dropdown of any page.
