For over sixty years, the CIA provided a valuable resource known as The World Factbook, which offered a comprehensive reference guide to every country on Earth, as well as several non-state entities like the European Union. This guide was filled with a wealth of information, making it an eye-opening tool for anyone interested in global facts and statistics. Although the CIA has since abandoned this project, a free, community-run resource has emerged to continue the legacy of The World Factbook. This new platform allows users to fact-check and explore the planet’s diverse regions, providing an accessible way to learn about the world and its many facets.
QUESTION: How might the availability of a community-run resource like this influence the way young people understand global issues and cultures?
