One thing I found particularly interesting about this dataset is the city ↔ country relationship.

The original CIA World Factbook mostly focused on country-level information, but linking cities to their respective countries with structured fields opens up a lot of possibilities for developers.

For example:
• building geographic dashboards
• enriching datasets
• powering location-based applications

Curious if anyone here has already tried the API or looked at the structure of the dataset.
