    Probably got captured on the internet archive, someone just needs to make a good compressed repack like Wikipedia does.

      Not my site, but credit where it’s due: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/the-world-factbook/

      Up through 2020 is at the archive, and this guy uploaded that latest version to github as well.

      Edit: through 2020 is at the archive as zip downloads. 2021 through 2024 is available as their normal wayback archive for browsing.

      They’re probably “on it”, as the expression goes.
