"The CIA published an incredible resource called The World Factbook, a free reference guide to all the countries on Earth, filled with eye-opening info."
"On February 4, the CIA announced it was shutting down The World Factbook once and for all. Every single page was deleted simultaneously."
"The new version is called OpenFactBook. It's a community-maintained successor to the original from the CIA, available as a free online resource."
"OpenFactBook is a good old-fashioned website, free with optional donations, and has no cookies, tracking, or personal data collection of any kind."
The CIA's The World Factbook, a comprehensive resource on countries and entities, was discontinued in February 2023 after over sixty years. However, it has been replaced by OpenFactBook, a community-maintained version that offers similar information for free. OpenFactBook is accessible online without downloads, does not track users, and allows optional donations for support. This revival provides a valuable resource for global information once again.
