What’s so special?The sources we’ll cover in this tutorial are but two of the
many sources that provide basic country information. The World Factbook is updated annually and
occasionally more frequently when changes are warranted.
The Background Note series was updated periodically though not necessarily on annual basis for all countries. The Background Note series has become over the past several months the Country Fact Sheet series.
Each source collects roughly the same information on every country so comparisons can be easily made between countries.
Both sources are available free of charge from any computer with Internet Access.
