The second 'Society and Culture' sheds light on the people, their language, religion, education, arts, architecture, media, health, welfare, youths, women customs and way of life. The third 'Economy and Progress' has a survey followed by information about the country's agriculture, industry, energy, transport, tourism, communication, trade and currency. The fourth final one is 'Government and Administration' that covers the three branches of executive, legislature and judiciary in addition to the country's political parties, if any, and a small sketch of defense affairs.
