# Open World Factbook

> The world's most comprehensive open-source country database. 262 countries and territories, free forever.

- Status: shipped

- Live: https://worldfactbook.xyz

An open-source country database covering 262 countries and territories, free forever, at [worldfactbook.xyz](https://worldfactbook.xyz).

Open data shouldn't live behind an API key or a paywall. The factbook is fully open source, use the site, or take the data.

It is one of the better quiet projects: not flashy, just useful public infrastructure with a real dataset, a real site, and a repo visitors can inspect.
