To the author:

In case you are patching fields/bugs in database (like country codes for example), would it be possible for you to share that database as well with us so we can build on top?

This is actually an excellent dataset to test GraphRAG capabilities.

Also, a world simulation game, embodied with real data and real changes, can be built based off this data.

Thanks..

Hey there, yeah, definitely. I maintain .txt change logs for all data modifications. To be clear, no information is added or altered — the Factbook content is exactly what the CIA published. The parsing process structures the raw text into fields (removing formatting artifacts, sectioning headers, and deduplicating noise lines), but the actual data values are untouched. What I've added on top are lookup tables that map the CIA's FIPS 10-4 codes to ISO Alpha-2/3 and a unified MasterCountryID, so the different code systems can be joined and queried together.

I will add them to the github :)

Awesome. Thanks so much..
