Government Directory
A good place to start when looking for the Minister of
Such and Such.  Clunky
site doesn't explain search protocol. Use This Search Protocol:
type the last name first, followed by a comma and then the
first name (ie. Stockwell, Chris).
You can also browse the directory by category (Citizenship,
Agriculture, etc.)

AllWhoIs
In Peter
Steiner's famous
New Yorker cartoon, one dog dog in front of a computer
is telling his friend beside him, "On the Internet, nobody
knows you're a dog." A hoax Website looks pretty much
like a legitimate one, and just because the site claims
to be run by Hulk Hogan or the Amazing Randi doesn't mean
it really is. At AllWhoIs.com it's a simple matter to type
in the address (WITHOUT THE HTTP://WWW) and find out who's
really behind the screen.
NOTE:
This doesn't work with sites on free hosts, such as Editor's
Sidebar. But then, you shouldn't really be trusting info from
free sites (don't look at me like that, I'm not offering authoritative
information, just links to authoritative information).

Network
Solutions
Same
idea, type in the site name, find out who's behind it. Network
Solutions is the original in this field, but some say AllWhoIs
is better. You decide.
