Well, that was nice but in case somebody misses the point of joke, from the
website..

The CIA World Factbook
wfb2sql has been tested with the Factbook 2003 and 2002. The Factbook is
available for free at http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/. Extract
from the Copyright-Statement: "The Factbook is in the public domain.
Accordingly, it may be copied freely without permission of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA).". The complete .zip-archive has as size of approx.
85 MB. Since wfb2sql doesn't need the included PDF-maps, you may also decide
to download the smaller version without the PDF-maps. This download is about
15 MB.
