WorldFactbooks

All countries and territories

254 profiles, grouped by region. Every one carries the archived CIA World Factbook entry in full; 216 of them also carry live-refreshed statistics on top of it.

The remaining 38 have no live feed for population or GDP, because no international statistical series covers them: uninhabited islands and wildlife refuges, the Akrotiri and Dhekelia base areas, the Paracels and Spratlys, and a handful of territories such as Western Sahara and Vatican City that fall outside the World Bank's country list. Those profiles show the Factbook's own final figures, labeled as archive rather than dressed up as current. Which layer any given number comes from is stated on the number itself; the methodology page explains the split.

Australia and Oceania 30 entities

Central America and the Caribbean 33 entities

Population figures on this page are the live series where one exists and the January 2026 Factbook figure otherwise; each profile states which. Flags contain information from mledoze/countries, made available under the Open Database License (ODbL). Full licensing on the sources page.
