Resources
Information USA (infoUSA) is a U.S. State Department site with one of the most comprehensive selection of information about the United States. The State Department describes it as "an authoritative resource for foreign audiences seeking information about American society, political processes, official U.S. policies and culture." While much of the information provided by the State Department is factual, some sections may reflect a certain U.S. government bias and a preference for the current Administration's positions on certain issues.
