Anglicans Online maintains a list of churches worldwide that are part of the Anglican Communion, and also of those that are not. To quote 'Anglicans Online':
"That means that they are not part of the Anglican Communion. To be part of it, a church must have a formal relation with the See of Canterbury. It is entirely possible for a church to be in full communion with the Anglican Church without being in the Anglican Communion. It is also entirely possible for a church to be completely Anglican in heritage and origin, but for it not to be in communion with the See of Canterbury."
Anglicans Online also has a useful page on 'What Anglicans Believe', with links to Anglican websites worldwide.
The BBC website has a page on the Anglican Communion, with the name of the current Primate in each region, and a note on the overall versus Anglican population.
A website claiming to give 'just the facts about religion' has some useful information on Anglicanism and Episcopalianism.
The occasion of the Chicago Consultation in 2009 was used to put together a video (5 mins 16 seconds) collating assorted definitions of the the Anglican Communion.

The display of releases here is offered as a web portal service to the Anglican provinces and does not reflect editorial judgement or endorsement on the part of the Anglican Communion Office or the Lay Anglicana website.
