The U.K.'s FCI country profiles jockey with those produced by America's CIA for the best on earth. (Sorry Canada.) Good background information on history, politics, geography and society, plus bonus material on human rights and recent diplomatic visits. Includes a link to the U.K. Trade & Investment profiles, which are also superb (see separate entry).

KEYWORDS: history, international relations, foreign aid, human rights
