Because you probably don't carry random stats about other
countries in your head (such as the population of Ireland or the
percentage at which the Irish economy is growing), simply log on to
Country-Watch for the information. (And in case you didn't
know, the answers are 3.6 million and 9.5 percent annually,
respectively.) It used to take days of phone calls to acquire that
knowledge, but a visit to Country-Watch leads you to
snapshots of dozens of countries. A big plus: The site features a
search engine that ferrets out country-specific current news
coverage, so you can skim the headlines in the nations of your
choice. Next time you do business abroad, visit CountryWatch for
instant updates.
