The World Factbook 1995
Preface
Telephone numbers: All telephone numbers presented in the Factbook consist of
the country code in brackets, the city or area code (where required) in
parentheses, and the local number. The one component that is not presented is
the international access code which varies from country to country. For example,
an international direct dial phone call placed from the United States to Madrid,
Spain, would be as follows:
011 [34] (1) 577-xxxx where
011 is the international access code for station-to-station calls
(01 is for calls other than station-to-station calls),
[34] is the country code for Spain,
(1) is the city code for Madrid,
577 is the local exchange,
and xxxx is the local telephone number.
An international direct dial phone call placed from another country to the
United States would be as follows:
international access code + [1] (202) 939-xxxx where
[1] is the country code for the United States,
(202) is the area code for Washington, DC,
939 is the local exchange,
and xxxx is the local telephone number.
Total fertility rate: The average number of children that would be born per
woman if all women lived to the end of their childbearing years and bore
children according to a given fertility rate at each age.
Years: All year references are for the calendar year (CY) unless indicated as
fiscal year (FY). FY93/94 refers to the fiscal year that began in calendar year
1993 and ended in calendar year 1994 as defined in the Fiscal Year entry of the
Economy section for each nation. FY90-94 refers to the four fiscal years that
began in calendar year 1990 and ended in calendar year 1994.
Note: Information for the US and US dependencies was compiled from material in
the public domain and does not represent Intelligence Community estimates. The
Handbook of International Economic Statistics, published annually in September
by the Central Intelligence Agency, contains detailed economic information for
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries,
Eastern Europe, the newly independent republics of the former nations of
Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, and selected other countries. The Handbook can
be obtained wherever The World Factbook is available.
