With overviews of over 250 countries, the World Factbook is a great first stop for information about a country or region's geography, politics, economy, culture, and more! Well-organized and easy to navigate, this free online database makes finding basic facts and statistics about a country painless. It is updated weekly, which ensures the most timely information on a world entity.
Their beautiful, high resolution maps and flags make it a great resource to use for PowerPoint presentations and poster projects, as well. And, because it is published by the Central Intelligence Agency, it is appropriate to use in academic research.
