<div id="ygrps-yiv-1837218803"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;the cia world factbook is good for starters<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>The CIA Factbook is a fairly decent reference, but it does contain <br/>
inaccuracies and omissions. For example, it makes no mention of any of the <br/>
national Antarctic territories, despite the fact that these palpably do <br/>
exist in an administrative sense, even if they&#39;re not internationally <br/>
recognised. It is also sometimes ambiguous about which territorial <br/>
divisions certain referenced islands fall under (e.g. the Îles Éparses), <br/>
nor does it describe the relationship between certain territories and their <br/>
parent countries (and by extension the EU) particularly well.<br/>
