Version 1 of this record, last confirmed by the automatic refresh on 12 October 2026. Answerable publisher: United States — Central Intelligence Agency (public domain). Current.

The source is the CIA World Factbook, a work of the United States government and therefore in the public domain, read from a CC0 archive. The publication itself closed in February 2026, so an office-holder here may have changed since. The association adds nothing to the record and verifies none of it.
