You will notice that the United states doesn't even have an entry
One would think that the WSO would put together a single guideline but that obviously will not occur until a survivor gets in power in the WSO.
Most of these have probably been put together with limited survivor input so take them with a grain of salt.
If your country has some please post them in the comment section.
