Today I learnt that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) produces country profiles, which could be used as an alternative to the CIA's World Factbook.
Compiled by "knowledgeable experts" (sounds good so far) the FCO's country profiles include an overview (giving key facts like population, area, currency, etc) and sections on the economy, history, international relations, geography, trade & investment and politics.
There's also a link to the FCO's "travel advice" pages for each country.
