factbook.csv - World Factbook Country Profile Data in CSV (Comma-Separated Values) Format - New Repo

[Gerald Bauer]

Hello,

If anyone follows along - surprise, surprise - the new factbook org
now includes a new factbook.csv repo [1].

What's the /factbook.csv repo good for?

For now it will include all country comparisons sorted from highest to lowest.
For example data/c2147.csv [2] includes the area (in sq km)
statistics and reads:

Pos,Name,Value
1,Russia,17098242
2,Canada,9984670
3,United States,9826675
4,China,9596960
5,Brazil,8514877
6,Australia,7741220
7,India,3287263
8,Argentina,2780400
9,Kazakhstan,2724900
10,Algeria,2381741
...

And, for example data/c2119.csv [3] includes the population
statistics and reads:

Pos,Name,Value
1,China,1355692576
2,India,1236344631
3,European Union,511434812
4,United States,318892103
5,Indonesia,253609643
6,Brazil,202656788
7,Pakistan,196174380
8,Nigeria,177155754
9,Bangladesh,166280712
10,Russia,142470272
...

As always questions and comments welcome. Cheers.
