How to research a country?
When researching countries it is best to have a variety of sources, you can contact the embassy of the country you are researching, search for books in your local library or use the internet to find your information. It is important that you choose reliable sources, for the internet aim for websites that end in .gov, .org, or .edu. For books try to find the source of their information, and look at the bibliographies of books, from there go to the source material for raw information. Embassies vary on how co-operative they are when interacting with you.

How to research an issue?
Issues are usually based on current word events meaning you will find a large amount of information in the news. It is important to look at contrasting news and your countries home news in order to understand how your country views the issue. Focus on finding key government statements or policies that can help you guide how the country views and reacts to the issue in your assembly. Especially research how the issue would impact your country and any solutions your country is implementing or proposed to resolve the problem.
