Target: Country sites on internet like these US state ones?

[Jody Newman <newmanj@meol.mass.edu>]

Hi

This is almost total laziness on my part. I have tried to find sites
for 5th graders to use to find out basic information about countries
of the world...but my searching is not bringing up anything too great.
I should persevere but, it's Friday and the internet has been any
thing but speedy this week.

I'm sure there are sites out there similar to the US States ones that
I use (see next):

http://www.n-polk.k12.ia.us/Pages/Departments/media/state.html

http://www.50states.com/


Do any of you have sites you use when the kids are researching foreign
countries?  Will you share them?  If I get some good ones...I'll post
a HIT>

Thanks
