Offers information on the geography, government, population, currency, climate, history, economy, politics, and social customs of every nation from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.

Facts On File's references - Encyclopedia of the First World, Encyclopedia of the Second World, and Encyclopedia of the Third World - have been updated and are now a three-volume set entitled the Encyclopedia of the World's Nations. Each volume covers history, geography, and economics, politics, human rights, and environmental issues, the status of women, and more for every country in the world. The encyclopedia features 191 country-by-country surveys of practical data in more than 30 separate categories. Students, researchers, teachers, and general readers will find an emphasis on tables, charts, lists, and other graphic means of displaying information linked with narrative accounts of each nation's peoples, history, and government.

Tables, charts, lists, and other graphics are linked with narrative accounts of each nation's peoples, history, government, maps, basic fact sheets, information on the land and peoples, and discussion of history and government, economy, and society and culture. Also included: a chronology, a bibliography, official publications, contact information and internet resources.
