A website that I have been using for 20 years (originally in
my role as teacher) is the CIA’s World Factbook (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/). This site provides basic and not so basic information
about every country that you can think of.
Very handy if you’ve a student writing a report or you’re planning a
trip or you’re just interested in finding out more about some place you’ve only
just heard of. Take a look.
