I cite this source on occaision, and for geography buffs like me, it's the best site on the internet. Yesterday, the CIA came out with their 2004 edition, and it's all in public domain.

Ooooo... sweet! Thanks!

So, no one's interested? I'd think everyone would try to find holes in how the CIA gathered its data.

I think its cool... Its a one stop place for when I need information on a country. Screw the Almanac!

Now I can find out what country's flag my nation uses.

You have the flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

I love the FactBook, it's one of the most well-together pieces of knowledge ever created.

I knew that. I just didn't know what it was, or where it was.

You've probably have looked it up, but I know what they are.
They are remnants of the French empire in North America. After the British conquered Quebec in the French and Indian war (Seven Years' war in Europe), the French ceded all of Canada, except these islands. They are still part of France, and are heavily dependent on a fishing economy.

United States

Disputes -
International:

Prolonged drought, population growth, and outmoded practices and infrastructure in the border region has strained water-sharing arrangements with Mexico; undocumented nationals from Mexico and Central America continue to enter the United States illegally; 1990 Maritime Boundary Agreement in the Bering Sea still awaits Russian Duma ratification; managed maritime boundary disputes with Canada at Dixon Entrance, Beaufort Sea, Strait of Juan de Fuca, and around the disputed Machias Seal Island and North Rock; The Bahamas have not been able to agree on a maritime boundary; US Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay is leased from Cuba and only mutual agreement or US abandonment of the area can terminate the lease; Haiti claims US-administered Navassa Island; US has made no territorial claim in Antarctica (but has reserved the right to do so) and does not recognize the claims of any other state; Marshall Islands claims Wake Island

They forgot some stuff there I guess...

Nope. I'll give you a hint on which country's flag I use, though. It's a tiny country that my paternal side is from.

You have the flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon.You too? It's a really pretty flag. For one of my puppets, I took off the sidebar design thingies and expanded the blue area, so now it's just a ship... very pretty.

Interesting about the real country but my flag is better :P
