Take a look...
www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/
This site has a pretty extensive overview on every country in the world. It isn't a replacement for a full-fledged guide to that nation, but it will provide you with a good knowledge base from which to start your research.
I find it especially helpful when dealing with smaller, more unobtrusive nations (for example, I see that Albania has the worst phone line density in Europe, but cellular service is adequate).
