You don't need a factbook. You need some good maps!!

Look at the Asia and Southeast Asia maps. Look at the first three linked here. They seem to be the most recent. Others are linked below, but are not as current.
Country A= 'Shaped like an S, tropical rain forest, very populous, facing the South China Sea.'
