CIA World Factbook

Today in class we were looking at the CIA World Fact book and exploring what it has. It provides information on the current countries government, people, economy, geography, communications and other stuff. In class one of the students talked about the United States growth rate. It was only 0.77%, which is ranked number 143 out of 240 countries. This number comes from the birth and death rate in the country for the united states. Also Net Migration rate which is number of people entering and leaving a country during a year. J.C. gave us info on Antartica and about its military rules. He said they were not allowed to have fort bases. Which is weird to me. What I found on this cite that was interesting to me was the population in Syria is going down so much because of all the problems. And the families are just leaving and going to Lebanon. So now Lebanon is increasing fast..
