Probably right...but, sheesh, the CIA Handbook?

Quick & easy, as long as you don't need a ton of detail.

A ****load of people at the CIA have extremely boring jobs.

I don't know why this is but when looking up maps of countries and basic
statistics, a good many are from CIA data. Must be a free source. Not
very detailed and often not very current.

I'm sure we could find more accurate stuff by simply looking for web sites
from the governments of various countries. But, I'm really busy cleaning
fishing reels, rising bread dough, drying laundry, listening to music, and
waiting for Molson Golden to reach the perfect temperature. Who cares about
GNPs of Switzerland?
