What's New in This Release:
· Definitions for each entry type have been added, and elongated maps have been rotated for maximum readability.
· In the Economy category, the Factbook is now reporting national GDP figures in US dollars converted at Official Exchange Rates (OER) in addition to GDP at Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) rates, since both measures contain information useful to our readers. Traditionally, only PPP-converted GDP values have been reported.
· In the Transportation category, the former Highways entry is now Roadways, while Ports and harbors has been retitled Ports and terminals.
