NOTE: these are good starter ideas. I highly recommend the print sources suggested on the country report requirement handout. Definitely try for newspaper articles. These links are now available on the CC Angel site for our course.

 

Link	Hank's Comments
Library of congress Country Studies	Excellent deep background information
Virtual Library of Country Reports	General information with good references for other material
CIA World Factbook	The best source for hard data and up-to-date statistics
World Newspapers	A place to read today's news from your country - most are in English
Glossary of World Culture	Good general information
ELCA Country Pages	Reports on physical characteristics, people, companion church ventures, crafts, and offers a map.  Well worth a look - be surre to click on the categories at the very bottom of the page.
Dept of State Notes	Less detail than CIA  but often more recent. Everyone should include this in readings for their country reports. Perhaps the best starting place.
