Something Good From The CIA

The CIA have updated their World Factbook for 2005. Interesting to see the new economic figures. New Zealand's economy is steaming along at a 4.8% growth rate, for example, and Germany and Japan are both showing signs of improvement.

You can download the whole thing in one gulp here if you are so inclined, along with the editions for the years 2000 through 2004.

2 I swear, you are 1080° out of phase with reality. Yes, poor innocent CIA, another victim of the Boundless Bushian Evil! (A Rove/Cheney Production.)

3 I love the Factbook. I must have posted hundreds of links to it this year.

4 Plus, it is just cool to look at all the GDP per capita figures.

5 http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2004rank.html Iraq made quite a move up this year. Looks like U.S. grew nicely. The difference between N Korea ($1400) and S Korea (19,200) is quite stark, and actually grew this year. Sorry, small obsession with this page.
