The World (Country Factbook)

One of the top selling apps for the iPad, now available on your iPhone and iPod Touch!
The World is the only visual World Factbook and contains more data than any other factbook, easily selected through a unique interactive world map.

Touch a country and its factbook slides onto the screen, each topic neatly organized as tiles along the edge of the map. Touch a tile and it zooms out to reveal detailed information about that topic. Not sure where a country is located? Select it on the drop-down list and The World zooms in on it and opens the factbook.

The map-based interface is not only fun to use, but also guides you to discovering new places. It's so easy to explore and once you get started it's hard to stop!

If you are a student, love to travel, or enjoy watching the world news or shows like Amazing Race™ or House Hunters International™, this is the app for you!
