CIA Factbook

      In class, we talked about some facts that we learned in the CIA World Factbook.  The highest population growth rate is in Lebanon, with 9.37%.  Lebanon is right next to Syria, so we all thought that everyone from Syria was coming over to Lebanon.  Someone in class spotted the anti-Lebanon area in Syria, which is actually a mountain region in Asia.  
      Another fact is that Swaziland has the highest percentage of HIV/AIDS adult prevalence rate, being 26.5%.  
      Did you know in Timor-Leste, there are 45.3% children under the age of five underweight?  Well, that's another thing we learned.  That's almost half of the children!  Timor-Leste is near Indonesia.
      I started to research a little more, and I found out a few more facts:

• The place with the greatest mean life expectancy is Monaco, with 89.57 years.  The least is Chad with 49. 44 years.
• The place with the lowest population is the Pitcairn Islands, with a population of 48.
• In the U.S, there are 19.4% 0-14 year olds (male: 31,580,349/female: 30,221,106).  There are 13.7% 15-24 years (male: 22,436057/female: 21,321,861).  There are 39.9% 25-54 year olds (male: 63,452,792/female: 63,671,631).  There are 12.6% 55-64 year olds (male: 19,309,019/female: 20,720,284).  Finally, there are 14.5% 65 years or over (male: 20,304,644/female: 25,874,360).
• I know this is depressing, but the last fact I have is the fact that the largest death rate (in 1,000) is in South Africa, with 17.49 (remember in thousands).  I case you were wondering, the country with the lowest death rate is Qatar, with 1.53 (in 1,000).
