The World Factbook 1981
Classified Supplement
The World Factbook, formerly called the National Basic Intelligence Factbook
(NBIF), and this Classified Supplement are produced annually by the National
Foreign Assessment Center. The supplement contains the classified entries?mainly
concerning defense forces 1 that formerly appeared in the
classified version of the NBIF. Thus, the 1981 edition of The World Factbook (GS WF
81-001) and its Classified Supplement together supersede the classified version of the
January 1980 NBIF.
In general, information available as of October 1980 was used in the preparation of this
edition of the Factbook. The data were provided by various elements of the Central
Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Bureau of the Census, and
the US State Department. The Factbook production schedule precluded formal
coordination of these data, although informal exchanges at the working level have
taken place.I
Comments an queries are welcome and may be addressed to the Factbook Editor,

Definitions, Abbreviations, and Explanatory Notes:
Dates of Information:
? Population estimates have been projected to 1 January 1981.
? Military manpower estimates are as of 1 January 1980, except the numbers of males
reaching military age, which are projected averages for the five-year period 1980-84.
? In addition, although research for this edition was generally completed in October
1980, major political developments through the end of 1980 have been included.
Fiscal Year: The abbreviation FY stands for fiscal year; all years are calendar years un-
less otherwise indicated.
GDP and GNP: GDP is the total market value of all goods and services produced within
the domestic borders of a country over a particular time period, normally a year. GNP
equals GDP plus the income accruing to domestic residents arising from investment
abroad less income earned in the domestic market accruing to foreigners abroad.
Imports, Exports, and Aid: Standard abbreviations used in individual entries
throughout this factbook are c.i.f. (cost, insurance, and freight), f.o.b. (free on board),
ODA (official development assistance), and OOF (other official flows).
Land Utilization: Most of the land utilization percentages are rough estimates. Figures
for "arable" land in some cases reflect the area under cultivation rather than the total
cultivable area.
Maritime Zones: Fishing and economic zones claimed by coastal states are included
only when they differ from territorial sea limits. Maritime claims do not necessarily rep-
resent the position of the United States Government.
Money: All money figures are in contemporaneous U.S. dollars unless otherwise
indicated.
Oil Terms: Barrel (bbl) and barrels per day (b/d) are used to express volume of crude oil
and refined products; a barrel equals 42.00 gallons, 158.99 liters, 5.61 cubic feet, or
0.16 cubic meters.
Some of the countries and governments included in this publication are not fully indepen-
dent and others are not officially recognized by the United States Government.
