Some possible options, in order of difficulty from easiest to most difficult
(?):
(1) Create templates for the group so when they go to edit they have a
template to fill out.  They can erase the template if they choose to do so,
but at least you've got a better chance of having more consistently
formatted pages.
(2) WikiForms would give you a database-like ability to create pages with
limited fields and you can define what you want to appear (like a drop-down
for country, etc.)
(3) You could code your own using something like Fox
(4) You could code your own using out-of-the-box pmwiki forms

It may be that the fox solution would be easier than the wikiforms - not
sure on that.

Based on your brief description I would probably lean towards wikiforms.
