FACT SHEETS
Links to sites that offer short
profiles of the country in question.
CIA
World Factbook
The CIA World Factbook is one of the
more popular sources of information on countries available
on the Internet. It is certainly one of the more comprehensive
sources in terms of the number of countries covered and
each country web page provides general information on
the country's history, economy and culture, etc.
World
Flags country snapshot
This site is about country flags,
but it also provides a very convenient "snapshot" of the
country's vital information! It is worth a look if you
want a very quick view of the core facts about the country.

Country
profile from NationsOnline
This site provides a gateway
of links to other sites covering topics such as government,
news, business, culture, education, etc. It is more focused
on cultural, poltical and related information, rather
than on economic or trade matters. It is worth a visit
if you are trying to get a broader perspective of the
country.

STATISTICS
Links to sites that provide statistical
data on the country in question.
World
Trade Organisations trade statistics
The WTO provides a wide range
of trade statistics on most countries of the world. This
link takes you to the start page where you will need to
select the country(ies) that you wish to obtain trade
statistics on. It is definitely a good site to visit.
Trade
Map
Trade Map is an online trade
statistics resource - perhaps the most comprehensive available,
as the site enables you to research the trade partterns
of single countries, as well as between countries and
regions in some depth. This site requires registration,
however, and the site is not easy to use and will take
some effort to learn to navigate and to use on your part.
Nevertheless, the statistics available from this site
are without equal.
InfoNation
InfoNation is a UN website
aimed at the learning community, but that provides a very
useful facility whereby you can access a range of statistics
about different countries and regions. It is also possible
to compare the statistics from five different countries,
which is a useful feature. It is not the easiest site
to navigate, however, and you will need to spend a little
time on the site in order to become familiar with it.
World
Bank - World Development indicators
The site links to a database
of a wide range of development indicators, from GDP to
energy figures. You need to select the country and indicators
you are interested in, but it is an excellent source of
up-to-date information. This is worth a look.
International
Monetary Fund - World Economic Outlook database
The site links to the World
Economic Outlook database, a comprehensive database covering
a wide range of economic and development data. The site
requires you to select the country you want to investigate
as well as the data that you want to view and when you
are finished, it provides you with a printable report
covering all the information you have selected. It is
also possible to compare countries. Although the site
requires some effort, it is an invaluable source of information.
