The full-color Countries A-Z section, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, features a page for each country, including a map, national flag, and stats and facts from The World Almanac, such as area, climate, literacy rate, ethnic groups, monetary unit, crops and minerals, capital city, and useful tourism website.
The last section of the book is dedicated to the United States and Canada, including a page for all 50 states and each of the Canadian provinces, all with colorful maps and stats.
