Geography
The World Factbook provides information on the history, people, government, economy, geography, communications, transportation, military, and transnational issues for 266 world entities.
And get this...it's developed by none other than the CIA - the Central Intelligence Agency. Good stuff.
Pretty much everything you would ever want to know about each of the 50 United States. State bird, state nickname, weather, population, highest point, government. You get the idea. It's got everything.
Government and Politics
This is the official website of the White House, the home of the President of the United States
This page is part of the Internet Public Library. It displays links to biographies of every U.S. President, from George Washington to Joseph Biden. Lots of information, too, like family backgrounds, cabinet members, votes received in elections, etc.
Full profiles provide an instant guide to history, politics and economic background of countries and territories, and background on key institutions. They also include audio and video clips from BBC archives.
