Answer 1

Try the World Factbook at:
https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html
You'll find information on every country around the world there.

Answer 2

If you're thinking about Ireland, i would recommend you read Walter Macken, also visited www.nli.ie That's the national library and they have so much material. You can read a lot online. As for other countries you could check out by cultural groups, maybe religion if you are interested and you can also join cyberfriends.com - They have members from all over the world and you can make stacks of friends from different countries, beliefs, etc.

Answer 3

Go to the library, and go the the children's section and get out books on different countries. In my library, they are marked with an "x" before the number. This is a great technique if you just want an introductory level understanding. It works really well for biographies, too. I do this all the time.

Answer 4

What about reading some novels.
White teeth is a British novel about the experience of jamaican and Indian immigrants in Britain over three generations which many people really like.

Answer 5
