The Free Pacific Intelligence Agency National Fact Book
2007 Edition

Introduction
Originally designed for use as a reference for FPIA Analysts, the FPIA Factbook became an international best-seller (relative for reference works) in 2006 when it was declassified and made available to the general public. Its information is as current as the FPIA can make it and the FPIA does hope that it will facilitate your work.

Technology Levels
In order to best describe the technological advancement of the nations within this book, the FPIA has devised a relatively simple system of technology levels based on the nation's commonly used technological devices. At this time, they are unavailable, but will be inputed at a later date.
