The CIA Factbook: a gazetteer of facts about each country in the world, is no longer maintained or updated.
The Shed is where new ideas for alltheway.education get built and tested. Some are rough prototypes; the ones that work graduate into the main projects.
The redoubtable Richard Allaway has stepped into the void and created a website where you can still access key facts about countries. This is designed for IB students in particular, but would be useful for anyone.
Head for Richard's website on the link above.
Look for a section called 'The Shed'.
Pick a country to see lots of data about it.
You can also compare up to 6 countries on indicators which you choose.
If you try it and have feedback, get in touch with Richard, and the tool may well become a permanent part of the support that Richard gives to iGCSE and IB geography teachers.
