From the opening
This etext was prepared by Dr. Gregory B. Newby, as taken from
the CIA's online version of the book published at the address:
http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/guide.html Note
the original book includes maps and other graphics. These are
not included in the Project Gutenberg edition. The tables may
not correctly align due to limitations of HTML conversion, but
are otherwise intact. It is past experience that the CIA does
not maintain past versions of The Factbook online. Hopefully,
the Project Gutenberg edition will be useful to you for a long
time in the future.
Countries are listed in alphabetical order. Notes and
appendixes follow the country listings.
