The electronic version of the CIA World FactBook 1990 is available
on obi.std.com. It's a handy almanac-style document which I've
enjoyed browsing. I'm told it is freely redistributable.

Does anyone know if there is an ftp archive site with a more recent
edition? Thanks!

Many thanks to the several people who replied, advising me to look
in the Project Gutenberg archives, accessible by anonymous ftp from
mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu.

Project Gutenberg has the 1990, 1991, and 1992 editions.
