Below are the reference sources for my writings, although i use many sources I only recommend my views to visit the sites which i find very comprehensive and interesting.
Some of the website have dead links or that the URL changes without notice, but bear with it, it is like that in Hungary
Also due to the acclaimed "Nimda" virus many of the websites including government owned ones are facing network traffics problems :(
Also should the site you click turn out to be a pornography or whatever site, please bear with it, it happens all the time.

special thanks to go to www.cnn.com and SIGMA (very comprehensive but always outdated, and anyway the server is down due to nimda). Special thanks also going to my friend from Hong Kong University for compiling the Java source code for me and also to my very special friend working in CNN Hong Kong. No thanks to the Nimda virus however :D. And lastly I have to thank my brain and body from not failing on me, although I do have to admit that my hand and fingers got cramp all the time.
and last but not least, I would like to thank my tutor and Lecturer, Joyce Odem from providing me with such great insights into the world of Country analysis. Thank you :)
