How works our web-site                                              Page in PDF format

Short general overview

Target of our web site is to enable our visitors in short time an overview about all countries and territories of the world, that what a consultant need to go to a new country he never has visited before. So we have there the country basic information and an country map with the population density inside of the official administrative division.

GeneralOur key business is the elaboration of thematic maps according to the investigation or working issue of our visitants. For interested visitors are described the conditions and prices under the example map.

On the page are marked also the membership on international treaties or in international organisations - as expandable list under the table with the population data.

As additional service we offer our link collection - links to the country information on interesting and useful web sites.

The graphic shows the internal structure of the content pages of our web site. The main content is unified in the menu option MAPS.

Clicking MAPS you can define the Region you are interested - and there the country - coming to the country pages - in total currently 291 countries and territories. On all pages is on the side a Quick select box to come directly to the country of interest.

Under the same Quick select box is an link to the List of international organisations and treaties included on our web. Currently there are 210 organisations and treaties included, for which we have an short description page of the treaty with links to the official treaty or organisation web site and the WIKIPEDIA page. On this page are also listed the member states in their functional membership - as full member, observer or special member. This country list connects again the country page.

On the country pages you can expand the list of memberships on international treaties of the country - as Extend button under the population list of the country - before the neighbour states list.

Now we like to illustrate in an graphic the links on the country pages.

 

Country page

Contry page

If the country has territorial disputes with neighbouring countries, a further expandable list International border disputes appears under the expandable list of membership in international treaties and organisations. In the example screen for the Czech Republic, this list is not displayed as no territorial claims are registered.

The thematic links on the country pages we have grouped in 4 groups, country data, international and special data, as well as the additional data in the country header of each page.
