The CIA World Factbook is an annual reference publication produced by the United States Central Intelligence Agency, providing standardized profiles of every country and territory in the world — covering geography, population, government, economy, military, and communications. The 2006 edition is now in the public domain and offers a detailed snapshot of the world as it stood twenty years ago, before many of the geopolitical shifts of the following two decades.
Useful for researchers, historians, journalists, and educators studying the early twenty-first century world, this free EPUB download makes the complete 2006 edition conveniently searchable and portable.
