Good Luck|||The World Fact Book on line has a lot of very useful information.|||There is some free, basic country information available on the Internet. One good site is the U.S. Department of State's "Background Notes" site:

The CIA World FactBook is also pretty useful. It's updated annually:

There are some reference books available in some libraries that have even more in-depth data on countries. One such title we have here in the U.S. is the Europa World Year Book. It comes out every year and is like the CIA World Factbook on steroids. Another similar print encyclopedia is the WorldMark Encyclopedia of the Nations.





You can use the WorldCat database to see if a library near you owns either of these:

Best of luck!
