Dear Amy: How can I find population statistics for different countries?--Tammy, New Haven, Conn. Dear Tammy: The best place to find facts about countries is at the CIA Factbook at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook. If you want to compare facts about any two countries, here's a flashy idea (you'll need the Flash plug-in). Check out Your Nation at www.your-nation.com. By selecting the countries and the type of facts, such as unemployment or the population, you will see a graphic comparing the two countries. It's cool. (The second site is no longer available.)
