Personally, I find that the feel of each nation being the "best thing since sliced bread" is a large part of the charm and appeal of the guides. Far better to have a general outline I can aspire toward (if the guide is unrealistic, then I'll keep changing and altering things to get closer to the goal, as opposed to being satisfied by being up to par) and that I'll enjoy reading than not.
Also, when I saw the strange formatting of your last post, I was really hoping for a rebuttal in iambic pentameter or as a limerick. That might be fun for your next thing
