User:52 Pickup/Drafts/Template:Infobox Historical State

DO NOT USE - for personal reference only

Based on Template:Infobox Country, adjusted to suit now-extinct states.

Main differences:
 * 1) Unnecessary modern fields have been removed
 * 2) Many fields are hidden, since not all information is available
 * 3) Multiple entries for population, if values from different time periods are known
 * 4) Similarly, multiple entries for area are possible, but this has been disabled for the moment

Major addition: A start_date-end_date row near the top. It is possible to use this as a section to jump to previous and successive states, if known. To implement this, see the entry on the German Empire
