First released in 1981 the World Factbook is one of the most useful and well respected sources of public domain information about the countries of the world that has ever been published. The Factbook is meticulously maintained and covers all the important informational categories about all of the world's countries -- such as geography, people, government, transportation, the economy and many more.
We publish the factbook exactly as is and update our
Factbook pages frequently and link directly to their own information pages. You can verify that you are getting authoritative facts at any time.
