We are living in a time when disinformation, "false information deliberately spread to deceive people" is running rampant, and the truth is becoming harder to find. The World A Comprehensive Guide to Geopolitics was made with the intention of collating the information from various reputable sources in order to compare that data.

Several major publications disagree on the size, or population of a region, and in some cases nations are literally omitted from other guides completely. To ensure quality standards this guide provides as much information as possible in order to provide our reader's with as much context as possible. A unique feature of this guide is wherever possible we have included comparisons between different publications. Rather than just trust one source, which might actually get the facts incorrect, this guide sources numerous atlases, geography books, and online publications to show any discrepancies that may have arisen within the statistical data.

Melding historical timelines, world geology, and geopolitics into one convenient guide, The World A Comprehensive Guide to Geopolitics is an extremely comprehensive atlas. This unmatched world atlas provides: flags, maps, capital cities, official and unofficial language(s), population sizes, sizes by area, exclusive economic zones, dates of sovereignty, brief historical timelines, and more, for each of the 193 UN members, each of the UN observer states, and each of the partially recognized nations on Earth.

Each chapter of this guide is a different continent, some contemporary atlases may glance over the continent of Antarctica, by comparison our guide has over 40 entries in the Antarctica chapter alone, and we have included the populations for every active base camp in Antarctica (for both summer and winter populations).

Most contemporary world guides only provide information about the 193 UN Members, and that's it, whereas our guide includes information on nearly 1,400 regions.
