The World Factbook is one of the US Government's most accessed publications.
The World Factbook, produced for US policymakers and coordinated throughout the US Intelligence Community, presents the basic realities about the world in which we live. We share these facts with the people of all nations in the belief that knowledge of the truth underpins the functioning of free societies. The Factbook is the only US intelligence publication that aims to collect and disseminate such authoritative, broadly-coordinated, comparable, and comprehensive facts about the world.For over six decades, the highest-ranking leaders of the US Government have recognized the need for such a publication.
The World Factbook is a one-stop reference site.
Although many of the facts presented in The Factbook may be found in various other publications, they are conveniently gathered together in one place only at The World Factbook Web site.
