This placemark displays the flags of all countries and territories listed in the CIA World Factbook and, when clicking on the flag, shows the background info from that site. It also contains links to the complete CIA page, as well as Wikipedia and Google search links.

All images are now included with the placemark file. If this doesn't work for you, just tell me and I will make a version with images linked to the CIA server available again, too.

If you find any misplaced countries (e.g. Vietnam ), CIA has an update submission page.

Edit: Integrated Wikipedia and Google links (Oct. 31, 2005)
Edit: Integrated the flags into the placemark file (Nov. 13, 2005)
Edit: Manually included the entries for 'World' and 'European Union' (Nov. 19, 2005)
Edit: Updated to current CIA data, Serbia and Montenegro now have separate entries (July 14, 2006)
Edit: Updated internal CIA links to their new 'https' protocol. Parsing errors corrected. (July 18, 2006)

Hi Herrminator

Another excellent piece of work!!!!

This is well worth downloading and saving

Download, turn borders on , then zoom out and you get a nice overview with flags and clickable info on each country.

Simple and elegante

This is a 8

Thanks a lot!

But the credit, again, goes to somebody else (though giving the CIA credit doesn't really come easy, but... ). I just wrote a small script that translates the data.

Nonetheless, I thought this fits perfectly for GE, so,
Enjoy!

That's really really awesome, thanks!

Seems as of now, Sat. Oct. 22, 14:43 UTC, the CIA site cannot be reached, at least not from the Philippines.

So the Flags won't show for now
