Taxonomy landing pages

I can see at least 3 ways to do that.

  1. Adding a rewrite rule. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Rewrite_API for details:

    add_rewrite_rule('^(country|person|interest)/?','index.php?tax=$matches[1]','top');
    

    then use the template_redirect filter to load your template when the taxvariable is there:

    if (get_query_var('tax')) {
        # load the template here 
    }
    

    You’ll also need to add the tax query var to the list of filtered vars using the query_vars filter.

  2. Creating pages using specific template to list the terms

  3. Creating pages and use a shortcode to list the terms
