Europa

Guide to the EU and useful European information. The Eurostat collection of european statistics is useful for intra-EU comparisons. You can quickly find European policy in any area via the EU policy page. Also check out the section on the media, information society and data protection in the single market.

World Bank

Useful source of raw data for international economic comparisons - particularly on development issues.

World Health Organisation

Useful for international health comparisons.

CIA world fact book

Using a CIA site doesn't automatically imply approval of CIA methods. But a very useful short-cut to getting basic data on countries around the world.
