Countries of the world

On the next four pages is a list of the world’s

countries, arranged in alphabetical order.

Under each country’s name are its capital city,

the name of the people who live there, and its

currency. When a country has two capital cities,

they are both listed. If there is a common

abbreviation or symbol for the currency, such

as $ for dollar, this is shown in parentheses

after the name of the currency.
