This source of important unclassified CIA data covers all the nations of the world. A U.S. government publication that is not copyright protected, it differs from the CIA volumes in two ways: the information is first published by the CIA late each year and then by Brassey the following year, and it does not include four-color maps. Key data are grouped under geography, people, government, economy, communications, and defense forces. Also contains appendices on the United Nations system, international organizations, weights and measures, international environmental agreements, and standardization of geographic names.
