=09=09Dear Economist.com reader
=09=09
=09=09Economist.com's Country Briefings is the essential insider's tool for=
=20
researching countries. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world's=
=20
leading provider of country analysis, and The Economist have teamed up to=

orld's=20
GDP. For each country we have brought together succinct forecasts, economi=
c=20
and political profiles, core statistics, essential recent articles and=20
in-depth surveys from The Economist. We also bring you headlines from arou=
nd=20
the web and links to relevant websites. If you could only use one countrie=
