LEARN
How much do you know about our world? Which countries are in which regions, how did they come to be, who leads them, what are their languages, religions, and the details of their economies? The World Factbook is a fantastic reference work for this, and Geographer includes full World Factbook profiles for each country. Geographer also draws on Wikipedia for additional information and statistics.
