General Country Information

Here's a great resource about the 12 countries that border the Baltic. It has an easy-to-use format. You just click on a country and then drill down through the categories (General, Business and Economy, News and Media, Society and Social Issues, etc.) to find links to information about that country. Or, you can go right to the categories from the home page, where you'll find region-specific resources. The Baltic region has been going through major changes since the fall of the Soviet Union, and you'll be able to stay current by visiting this Web site. http://bibl.sh.se/baltic/
