This template is for linking to pages of The World Factbook, a publication of the United States Central Intelligence Agency.

Usage

[edit]

The template wraps {{cite web}}: All parameters for {{cite web}} are accepted. The three exceptions are |country=, |year=, and |section=:

  • {{Cite CIA World Factbook|country=COUNTRY NAME}}"COUNTRY NAME". The World Factbook (2024 ed.). Central Intelligence Agency.
  • {{Cite CIA World Factbook|country=COUNTRY NAME|year=2000}}"COUNTRY NAME". The World Factbook (2024 ed.). Central Intelligence Agency. (Archived 2000 edition.)
  • {{Cite CIA World Factbook|country=COUNTRY NAME|section=section|year=2000}}"COUNTRY NAME § section". The World Factbook (2024 ed.). Central Intelligence Agency. (Archived 2000 edition.)

The template links to the CIA archive for the entire World Factbook for the year given by |year=. This is a large file that may not be suitable for mobile devices. Editors can add |archive-date=, |archive-url=, and |url-status= to provide an archive for an individual country.
