Factbook
Russia FactsNo, i don't expect anyone to seriously read through these facts... but browsing through them might catch interest. I noticed that Russia has about 15 deaths to every 10 births. Under religion, the factbook states that Russia has a large population of non-believers. They also have a 99.6% literacy rate... compare that with the world average of 82% literate.
I also had no idea that Russia day is on June 12th. And Agriculture only accounts for 5% of their Gross Domestic Product.

The CIA Factbook is a great resource and provides so much information about other countries. Often times the amount of information is so overwhelming that they provide, but if you have an idea of the information you are looking for or are reading the factbook to infer patterns in the data that are shocking based upon the country's reputation, then it makes for a good read.
