historically, then receives equal status in the template with e.g. San Marino and
Liechtenstein, which have tiny amounts of rock and which have received only extremely small amounts of attention from geologists, but I suppose that's the outcome when an area is a country as in sovereign state rather than a regional identity. If that is to change then it's a political decision for the future, which is outside the scope of Knowledge, because Knowledge is supposed to be an encyclopedia that reports the world as it is, not how it should or could be.

Because you asked for help: I tried to put some structure in your list above and added more features. There are a few places where we can choose between large-scale or more detailed (geology of the
Iberian Peninsula vs. every part of it seperately, same for Scandinavia). The faults can perhaps better

Liechtenstein would not mean much without a lot of duplication from other "national" articles.

Great
Britain includes only Scotland, England and Wales. Northern Ireland is out on its own so oughtn't really to be included within a GB umbrella - list it as one of four within the UK and you're fine - but then we don't have a 'geology of the UK' in the list. The search term 'Geology of Northern

Lappspira's change to this template to have one entry for the United Kingdom in the list of countries is a fair change and I accept it. It's unfortunate that the geology of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which is actually exceptionally rich both scientifically and

I guess I'm joining the discussion a little late :). I think the consensus now is that geographic regions get short overview articles that link to the more in depth geologic articles (e.g.
