U.S. State Department Background Notes


http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/

It's the same stuff that's everywhere else, but the U.S. State Deparment's Background Notes have a little more detail, notably on history and politics. (On economy, trade, and human rights, you're best off looking elsewhere.) Note: if you're really a history buff, try the Library of Congress reports instead.

KEYWORDS: economic structure, foreign trade, history
