    Crazy that anyone trusts anything from the CIA? I thought most people would not trust them especially nowadays.

      I also always thought it was crazy, but apparently it was highly accurate. Basically a compilation of data gathered by the different US government agencies, in a neatly organized document. Perhaps the only good thing the CIA ever did for the world lol

      Looking at the 2020 version’s information for my country, I don’t see anything controversial.

      Has little tidbits like:

      Cultural Practices: It is considered rude to greet someone while seated, stand up to introduce yourself.

      Which is absolutely true, though I don’t imagine it’s unique to Estonia?

      Here’s a mirror of the 2020 version, anyway
