OpenFactBook

Our Mission

OpenFactBook provides free, comprehensive, and accurate information about every country in the world. We believe geographic and demographic data should be accessible to everyone—students, researchers, journalists, developers, and curious minds alike.

OpenFactBook aggregates data from multiple authoritative sources to provide comprehensive and accurate information:

• 1

  CIA World Factbook

  Primary source for country profiles including geography, government structure, demographics, economy overview, transportation, military, and transnational issues.

• 2

  World Bank Open Data

  Historical time-series data for GDP (current USD), population totals, and life expectancy at birth spanning 20+ years.

• 3

  REST Countries API

  Supplementary data including currency details, calling codes, timezones, official languages, driving side, and demonyms.

All data sources are public domain or openly licensed. We strive to keep information current and accurate.

OpenFactBook is built as a static site for maximum performance and reliability. Pages are pre-rendered at build time, resulting in fast load times and no server dependencies. The site works perfectly offline once cached.

OpenFactBook is built and maintained by , an independent developer.

This is a non-commercial project. There are no ads, no trackers, no paywalls, and no data collection beyond basic server logs. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics for anonymous, cookieless traffic insights—no personal information is collected.
