My first factbook, constructive criticism only.

The nation of Witnessia is a Christian (Jehovah's Witnesses and Roman Catholic) nation, known for the Cathedral of St. Faustina Kowalska of the Divine Mercy (as shown on its flag). There are several mottos: God Save The Tzar!, Jesus We Trust In You/ In God We Trust and others. The Jesus We Trust In You one is based on the Divine Mercy's Jesus, I Trust In You quote.

The nation is a constitutional Tzarist nation, with a Tzar and President. The national anthem is God save the Tzar but a revised version. Charles Taze Russell is the President while Joseph Rutherford (may change) is the Tzar.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Roman Catholicism are the state religions but tolerance is guaranteed.

Good start. Some good things to include further are Government, Geography, Culture, Military. Look at some Wikipedia Factbooks to modle after

Charles Russell is the leader of the Traditionalist Party, while Joseph Rutherford is Tzar Joseph I (may change)

Other ministers include:
Nathan Homer Knorr
Frederick William Franz
Milton George Henschel
Don A. Adams

One part of Witnessian culture is Mercy Sunday in which people (mainly Catholics) celebrate Faustina Kowalska and her Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The painting of Jesus in the form she saw Him is on the flag of Witnessia. Mercy Sunday is the first Sunday after Easter. The Cathedral of St. Faustina Kowalska of the Divine Mercy is packed on this day.

The painting of the Divine Mercy inspired the current flag of Witnessia.

Here are several parties in the politics of Witnessia:

Traditionalist Party (ruling party) (may change)
Communist Party
Socialist Party
Liberalist Party

and some others, I guess.

Let me give you a sugestion, the best one i can give. Look at Van Luxemburg's Factbook (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=462352). It's probably one of the most complete on NS. I used it as a base for my own factbook.

Thanks for your suggestion, Wolfensland.

The Witnessian Catholic Church is, with the Jehovah Witnesses, the largest religious group in Witnessia. The Catholic Church uses the Latin Rite, the Novus Ordo Missae although some parishes belong to the Tridentine Catholic Church, which use the Pre-Vatican II mass form (this I may scrap).

Thanks for your suggestion, Wolfensland.

If you go to http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Pythogria there's my factbook.

Thanks, Pythogria. I am checking it out.
