How to manage this template's visibility
  • Use {{Countries of North America |state=collapsed}}  to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state.
  • Use {{Countries of North America |state=expanded}}  to show this template in its expanded (fully visible) state.
  • Use {{Countries of North America |state=autocollapse}}  to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state only if there is another template of the same type on the page.
  • Unless set otherwise (see state parameter within the template's code), autocollapse is the default state.
