This series of profiles of foreign               nations is part of the Country Studies Program, formerly the Army               Area Handbook Program. The profiles offer brief, summarized information               on a country’s historical background, geography, society,               economy, transportation and telecommunications, government and politics,               and national security. In addition to being featured in the front               matter of published Country Studies, they are now being prepared               as stand-alone reference aides for all countries in the series,               as well as for a number of additional countries of interest. The               profiles offer reasonably current country information independent               of the existence of a recently published Country Study and will               be updated annually or more frequently as events warrant. **Note:**               The month and year in which each profile was created or most recently               updated appear after each country name.
