CIA World Factbook
|
Very extensive site with lots of information on 266 world entities. The great thing about this site is that it can be easily used for all grade levels because it ranges from such simple topics such as pictures and detailed descriptions of a country's flag to complex topics such as transnational issues. Select a continent and an interactive graphic showing all of the countries appears with links to each country's profile. Profiles include the history, people, government, economy, geography, communications, transportation, and military. A country comparison feature allows you to view rankings in 58 fields such as GDP, transportation modes, oil production, unemployment rate, and imports/exports. Use the "References" tab dropdown for quick access to any main features. You are limited only by your imagination!
