Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
======================================================================
What's New
- Country information has been updated as of 8
February 2007.
- In the Government category, the "Capital" entry
has been greatly expanded and now contains up to
four subfields, including significant new information
having to do with time. The subfields consist of the
name of the capital itself, its geographic
coordinates, the time difference at the capital from
coordinated universal time (UTC), and, if
applicable, information on daylight saving time
(DST). Where appropriate, a special note has been
added to highlight those countries that have
multiple time zones.
- The Transnational issues category now has a
"Trafficking in persons" entry. Human trafficking
connotes modern-day slavery and this important
new field will include information on the most
egregious countries (Tier 2 Watch List and Tier 3)
as listed in the US State Department's annual
report.
- A new Appendix G lists Weights and Measures.
The appendix includes information on mathematical
notation and metric interrelationships, as well as
over 400 examples of standard conversion factors.
-Revision of some individual country maps, first
introduced in the 2001 edition, is continued in this
edition. Several regional maps have also beenupdated to reflect boundary changes and place
name spelling changes.
