@2203 Geographic overview

World
  The surface of the earth is approximately 70.9% water and
  29.1% land. The former portion is divided into large water bodies
  termed oceans. The World Factbook recognizes and describes five
  oceans, which are in decreasing order of size: the Pacific Ocean,
  Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Arctic Ocean.
  The land portion is generally divided into several, large, discrete
  landmasses termed continents. Depending on the convention used, the
  number of continents can vary from five to seven. The most common
  classification recognizes seven, which are (from largest to
  smallest): Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica,
  Europe, and Australia. Asia and Europe are sometimes lumped together
  into a Eurasian continent resulting in six continents.
  Alternatively, North and South America are sometimes grouped as
  simply the Americas, resulting in a continent total of six (or five,
  if the Eurasia designation is used).
  North America is commonly understood to include the island of
  Greenland, the isles of the Caribbean, and to extend south all the
  way to the Isthmus of Panama. The easternmost extent of Europe is
  generally defined as being the Ural Mountains and the Ural River; on
  the southeast the Caspian Sea; and on the south the Caucasus
  Mountains, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean. Africa's northeast
  extremity is frequently delimited at the Isthmus of Suez, but for
  geopolitical purposes, the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula is often
  included as part of Africa. Asia usually incorporates all the
  islands of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The islands of
  the Pacific are often lumped with Australia into a "land mass"
  termed Oceania or Australasia.
  Although the above groupings are the most common, different
  continental dispositions are recognized or taught in certain parts
  of the world, with some arrangements more heavily based on cultural
  spheres rather than physical geographic considerations.

@2204 Economy of the area administered by Turkish Cypriots

Cyprus
  Economy - overview: The Turkish Cypriot economy has roughly
  30% of the per capita GDP of the south, and economic growth tends to
  be volatile, given the north's relative isolation, bloated public
  sector, reliance on the Turkish lira, and small market size.
  Agriculture and services, together, employ more than half of the
  work force. The Turkish Cypriot economy grew around 10.6% in 2006,
  fueled by growth in the construction and education sectors, as well
  as increased employment of Turkish Cypriots in the area under
  government control. GDP declined about 2.0% in 2007. The Turkish
  Cypriots are heavily dependent on transfers from the Turkish
  Government. Ankara directly finances around one-third of the
  "TRNC's" budget. Aid from Turkey has exceeded $400 million annually
  in recent years.
  GDP (purchasing power parity): $1.865 billion (2006 est.)

  Exports: $68.1 million, f.o.b. (2007 est.)
  Export - commodities: citrus, dairy, potatoes, textiles
  Export - partners: Turkey 40%; direct trade between the area
  administered by Turkish Cypriots and the area under government
  control remains limited
  Imports: $1.2 billion, f.o.b. (2007 est.)
  Import - commodities: vehicles, fuel, cigarettes, food, minerals,
  chemicals, machinery
  Import - partners: Turkey 60%; direct trade between the area
  administered by Turkish Cypriots and the area under government
  control remains limited
  Economic aid - recipient: under a July 2006 agreement, Turkey plans
  to provide the area administered by Turkish Cypriots 1.875 billion
  YTL ($1.3 billion) over three years (600 million YTL in 2006, 625
  million YTL in 2007 and 650 million YTL in 2008); Turkey has
  forgiven most past aid; additionally, the EU pledged financial
  assistance of Euro 259 million ($388 million) in 2004, which is yet
  to be disbursed.
  Reserves of foreign exchange and gold: $NA
  Debt - external: $NA
  Currency (code): Turkish new lira (YTL)
  Exchange rates: Turkish new lira per US dollar: 1.319 (2007) 1.4286
