 BBC 
                       country profile 
                        The BBC provides an overview 
                         of the country, covering the following headings; overview, 
                           facts, leaders, and media view. The focus is more 
                         on "newsy" and political items rather than on hard economic 
                         information. Nevertheless, the information is concise 
                         and up-to-date. This is a good site to get an overall 
                         feel of what is happening in the country currently. 
                     
 Country 
                       profile from NationsOnline

                         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.
                     
 STAT-USA 
                       country commercial guides 
                        This site links to documents 
                         covering a country overview that has been prepared by 
                         the U.S. Department of Commerce (STAT-USA). The guide 
                         is quite comprehensive, but has obviously been written 
                         from a US perspective.
