By the way, The World Factbook is produced by the CIA. 

I found this little fact interesting:
Net migration rate: 0 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2006 est.)

There is also contact information (address and phone number) of the Diplomatic 
representation from the US.

Flag description: three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and black with 
three green five-pointed stars in a horizontal line centered in the white band; 
the phrase ALLAHU AKBAR (God is Great) in green Arabic script - Allahu to the 
right of the middle star and Akbar to the left of the middle star - was added in 
January 1991 during the Persian Gulf crisis; similar to the flag of Syria, which 
has two stars but no script, Yemen, which has a plain white band, and that of 
Egypt which has a gold Eagle of Saladin centered in the white band; design is 
based upon the Arab Liberation colors
