|'''government_type'''|| required || variable ||
*Monarchy
*Constitutional monarchy
*Principality 	
*Republic
*Socialist republic
*See also the variable [[#Status|status]] and the [[Template:Infobox former country/Categories|categorization scheme]].
|This entry generates more categories and sets some defaults for other political titles (see below). If the value given here does not match any in the following list, the article will be placed in the maintenance category for further examination. <br/>If a change in government takes place without the country itself changing, place the ''earlier'' government type in this field, and give the change in government as an intermediate event (e.g. event1).
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| colspan=5 style="background-color: whitesmoke;" |  Head of state
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|'''title_leader''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || the head of state's title. If "government_type" is "Monarchy" or "Constitutional monarchy", the default "King" will be displayed, which will link to "King of {common_name}" if that article exists. If "Republic" of "Federal republic" is given, "President" will be used instead. If a different title is used, enter it here (but keep the length to a minimum) and wikilink it to the relevant article (if any)
*''Example:'' For the [[Kingdom of Prussia]], "government_type=Monarchy" but "title_leader" has not been given. This is because the article "King of Prussia" exists, and is automatically linked to from the default word "King" in the infobox.
*''Example:'' For the [[German Empire]], the Emperor was also the King of Prussia. But instead of giving a title of "Emperor of Germany, King of Prussia", <nowiki>[[List of German monarchs|Emperor]]</nowiki> is used instead, which includes a link to all German monarchs
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|'''leader1, leader2, ...''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || Leader name. Wikilinks are generated automatically, but you should create wikilinked entries for people whose entry title is long (this applies to almost all royalty).
*''Example:'' <nowiki>[[George III of the United Kingdom|George III]]</nowiki> instead of "George III" or "George III of the United Kingdom". If it is not obvious that British monarchs are involved in this case, give the full "George III of the United Kingdom" (e.g. [[Congo Free State]]).
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|'''year_leader1, year_leader2, ...''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || Dates spanning rule of leader (e.g. 1801–1843).
*Note: If there was only one head of state, just fill in "leader1" but not "year_leader1". It is also not intended here to list every head of state that ever was: if there were a lot of them, just list the first and the last. To assist this, each name could be followed by (first) and (last)—but then you will need to wikilink the name.
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| colspan=5 style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Colonial governor, representative of head of state, etc.
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|'''title_representative''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) ||  same as for the head of state. These fields are to be used for colonial governors, representatives of the head of state, etc. For heads of government (e.g. Prime Minister), use the "deputy" field below
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|'''representative1, representative2, ...''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || Representative name. Wikilinks are generated automatically, but you should create wikilinked entries for people whose entry title is long
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|'''year_representative1, year_representative2, ...''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || Dates spanning rule of the representative (e.g. 1801–1843).
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| colspan=5 style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Deputy, head of government, etc.
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|'''title_deputy''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) ||  same as for the head of state. The only difference here is the default labels given: instead of "King" the default here is "Prime Minister"
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|'''deputy1, deputy2, ...''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || Deputy name. Wikilinks are generated automatically, but you should create wikilinked entries for people whose entry title is long
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
|'''year_deputy1, year_deputy2, ...''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || Dates spanning rule of the deputy (e.g. 1801–1843).
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| colspan=5 style="background-color: whitesmoke;" | Legislatures and constitutions
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| '''legislature''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || The name of the legislature (required to display upper and lower hoses)
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| '''house1, house2''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || The names of upper and lower houses of the legislature
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
| '''type_house1, type_house2''' || optional || free || label (free text with wikilinks) || Ability to enter different labels than upper and lower houses
