The World Factbook is prepared by the CIA for the use of U.S. government officials, and its style, format, coverage and content are primarily designed to meet their requirements.[2] However, it is frequently used as a resource for student papers, web sites and non-governmental publications.[1] As a work of the U.S. government, it is considered to be in the public domain.[3]
