Those rows are taken out; the entries’ own fields stay.

Field text

2018 to 2020 editions

Two problems with how the source archive captured the 2018 to 2020 editions are fixed. No words of the CIA’s are changed.

Line breaks put back

1,327 fields

Line and paragraph breaks the archive dropped are put back, from the original edition files; most often in Background, Legislative branch and Political parties and leaders.

Viewer words taken out

1,057 fields

Words from the website’s image viewer, captured along with the text, are taken out. They read “The World Factbook Field Image Modal × Africa :: Madagascar Print Image Description” and came before the description of an image, such as a population pyramid or an area comparison map. The descriptions are kept.

Not yet corrected

These quirks in the source archive affect how some fields are split, not which country an entry belongs to. They will be corrected in a later release.

  • 1991 edition: in most entries, “Maritime claims” is joined onto “Coastline”.
  • 1994 edition, mostly: sub-headings such as “male”, “female” and “total” appear as separate fields instead of within the field above them.
  • Where a regional breakdown was made fields of its own (above), the heading it sat under, such as Age structure in the 1996 Serbia and Montenegro entry, is still missing: the lines are there, the heading is not.
  • A few fields are named after a word in their text, where the source split a sentence at a colon.
