It is also painted in dark green on the map.
There are several way to select a country. The simplest is to click on the country, but you can select a country via the select/country window, the select/flag window, the data comparison window, etc... In fact, every Amiglobe window is synchronised, this means if you change the country selection in the flag window, it will also change in the others windows.

The information windows has several categories.

1. The general category

This category shows the map of the country itself, with its capital. There is the local name too. If the country has or is a dependency, then you can click on the country name to show them.

You can click on the  button to zoom the map on this country. The oval contains the automobile country code, and below there is the flag, and a button to hear the national anthem and see the lyrics.

You can compare the selected country with the reference country. By default, the reference country is your country, provided you gave proper information in the Windows Regional Settings, and Amiglobe was able to match your country name with a name known by him. To change the reference country, you can use the Project/locale preference menu, or click on the  button to set the reference country to the selected country.
If you check the  button, then the information window will show information about the selected country AND the reference country, making comparison easy.
You can also save the comparison on disk as a text file , copy it on the clipboard, or print it.
