United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA): The World Factbook
The CIA’s Directorate of Intelligence produces the World Factbook, which is available online and in print. The Factbook has gathered a comprehensive resource of facts and statistics on more than 250 countries and other entities. The annual printed version of the Factbook is usually released about midyear. Earlier the online version was updated once annually. Since 2001, however, CIA arranged for more frequent updates to accommodate recently available information. The site address for the CIA Factbook is https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/.
The Factbook organizes data for each country or territory in these categories: geography, people, government, economy, communications, transportation, military transnational issues. The World Factbook online version adds seven new entries, namely, median age, oil production, oil consumption, oil exports, oil imports, oil reserves. The web site version features four additional entries: natural gas production, natural gas consumption, natural gas exports, andnatural gas imports. An update for several regional maps also has been made to reflect recent boundary changes.

Updates in Oct. 2024
Go to https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/ethnic-groups/ to get the largest and second largest ethnic groups as percent of population and the estimated years.
Be really care of the following situations:
- If you use the python scraper to get the values, please double-checking the values with the website. For example, the first numeric value is not the largest ethnic group in UAE.
- If there is country having estimated years within a time range, assign the same values for both years. Take Cambodia as an example below, we will have the same values for Ethnic1 and Ethnic2 for both 2019 and 2020.
- If there is country having values for the largest and second largest ethnic groups as percent of population without the the estimated years, then use the current update year. Take Saudi Arabia as an example below, the estimated year is 2024.
- For South Korea, we manually assign 100 to Ethnic1.
After double-checking, we blend the new data with the old data in IFsHistSeries.
If we have different values for the same year from new data and the data in IFsHistSeries, then we use the new values to replace the values in IFsHistSeries. For example, the 'val' column will be the final value for Ethnic2.
Once the new data blended in and added, we have Ethhic1 with years in 2000-2003, 2006-2007, 2009-2024, and Ethnic2 with years in 1997, 2000-2003, 2006-2007, 2009-2024.
