*** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE 1993 CIA WORLD FACTBOOK ***

Produced by Dr. Gregory B. Newby

This is a preliminary edition. The final first edition should be on
file around midnight, October 31, 1993.

As usual, the margination in these reports may be rough, and another
edition should appear, somewhat neater in appearance, as a Gutenberg
volunteer will probably start work on this shortly.

This file has been edited in such a manner as to delete redundancies
[some, not all] and extra spaces [some, not all], enough that a file
from Project Gutenberg should be enough smaller that storarge/search
requirements should be reduced by 15 to 20%.

To search for information on a specific country from the list below,
