CIA's World Factbook Viewer

Unofficial version of the World Factbook from the CiA.

Features graphs with evolution and country comparatives. It only covers the 'fields' sections of the downloadable archives.

Usage:

Select one or more items of the three lists (years, categories, countries) and press 'Show Factbook'. 

When several years are selected line graphs with the evolution of the selected categories/countries appear.

Selecting several countries a year and differerntcategories leads to bar ranking comparatives.

Nothing selected in a list is the same as selecting everything, select individual items for more concrete queries.

Controls:

Arrows up/down: prev/next page.

Escape cancel loading query.

Year/category/country can be filtered with the upper input fields. It allows regular expressions.

The field next to 'Show facts' button cann be used to build queries like 'Show me the countries with a GDP  bigger than some amount' (check pictures).

When starting writing in that field, little numbers will appear on the categories so one can refer to the number instead to the full exact category name.

Sometimes categories have subcategories, those are represented with a '"." (dot) separating the category it refers to from the subcategory index (like category.number-of-subcategories zero-based).

if a category label shows 1.3, 3 means there are 3 possible queries starting at zero for that category, like 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 (that could be the case for example in the 'Area (sq km)' category where "land", "water" and "total" can be found within it.

Some examples can be found in the pictures.
