Again, one of the best places to seek global information by country or region is the Information Gateway provided by the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) - a U.S. government agency.
Information Gateway: Africa and Middle East

Information Gateway: Asia and Pacific
http://www.opic.gov/links/links-asia.htm
Information Gateway: Europe and New Independent States
http://www.opic.gov/links/links-euro.htm
Information Gateway: Latin America and Caribbean
http://www.opic.gov/links/links-lac.htm
OPIC's Investor's Information Gateway Country Link Database can connect you with more than 20,000 documents and other sources of economic, business, political and social data for all of the countries and areas in which OPIC can currently do business.
The links are conveniently grouped into some 20 major categories such as government, business promotion, health, human rights, infrastructure, natural resources, trade, travel, press, diplomacy, etc. There are typically 140 to 150 links available for each country and region.
Information sources include various federal agencies such as the Department of Commerce, the CIA and the State Department, multilateral organizations such as the World Bank, foreign government agencies and embassies, non-governmental organizations such as chambers of commerce and various trade and investment promotional organizations, travel information web sites, and many others.
