Finding Political Sites on the Web
If a country has a parliamentary form of government (and most do by the broad
definition used by this organization), be sure to check out the InterParliamentary
Union's web page. Established in 1889, the IPU is an organization of parliaments of
sovereign states. The IPE site has its own superb PARLINE database of country
parliaments, which includes all relevant details about the form and structure of
governments. In addition, the IPU provides links to official parliament web pages. Of
the more than 200 countries listed, not all have official parliamentary web pages, but
a surprising number do.

Global Edge
http://globaledge.msu.edu/
The Center for International Business Education and Research at Michigan State
University maintains Global Edge, a site of international country studies and
business information with links to over 5000 resources. Much of the information
comes from the CIA's Country Studies and the Department of State's Country
Background Notes, but the site adds a tremendous amount of value to this data.

Web, a site with links to many types of foreign government sites, including official
