Country by Country Guide, Notes and Information
Background Notes are factual publications that include facts about
the land, people, history, government, political conditions, economy, and
foreign relations of independent
states, some dependencies, and areas of special sovereignty. The Notes
are updated/revised by the Office of Electronic Information and Publications of
the Bureau of Public Affairs as they are received from the Department's regional
bureaus and are added to the database of the Department of State website you are
now using.
In each Background Note is a link under "OFFICIAL NAME" that goes to the
respective "country page" containing additional information. For a list of the
countries in a region of the world (with links to respective country pages) go
to the Countries and Other Areas section in each of these regions:
Africa,
East Asia and
the Pacific,
Europe and Eurasia
(including the New Independent States of the former U.S.S.R.),
Near East,
South Asia,
and the
Western Hemisphere.
Selected Background Notes also are available
for sale
in print by annual subscription or individually from the Superintendent of
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office.
