(Simple) Wikipedia
You really shouldn't use Wikipedia as a cited source for a paper or project, because anyone (even you!) can edit the information you see. On the other hand, Wikipedia has so many articles that it's a great place for you to start thinking about a research topic or to find ideas that you want to research in books.
How to cite your sources in MLA style
Just click at the top of the page what type of source you're using (book, magazine article, etc) and then fill in the information.
World Atlas
Just click on a country to get started exploring! Besides geography you can find flags and country profiles here.
