CIA World Factbook
Archive 1990–2025
The Factbook was discontinued Feb 4, 2026. Every edition ever published — 36 years, 284 entities, 1,071,489 fields — preserved as machine-readable, searchable data.
Factbook Archive
Raw field data as published — full-text search, time-series tracking, text diffs, and exports across every edition.
Interactive Analysis
Choropleth maps, time-series comparisons and country dossiers — every value computed directly from published Factbook editions, formatted to ICD 203 standards.
Open-Source Intelligence Layers
Sections 03–04 layer open-source intelligence on top of the archive — combining Factbook data with external sources (FAS, SIPRI, CSIS, ACA, IAEA & CIA.gov) to go further than the Factbook alone.
Nuclear & Missile Simulation
200+ facilities, trajectory modeling, MIRV warheads, defense intercept and fallout analysis — an interactive strategic model built on data beyond the Factbook.
