Es gab ein CIA-Programm namens CIA World Factbook, das jedoch inzwischen eingestellt wurde. Auf ihrer Karte von Südamerika ist das fälschlicherweise verortet Stadt Contagem, Brasilien. Auf der Karte erscheint es Hunderte Kilometer nördlich; in Wirklichkeit grenzt es an Belo Horizonte, eine Stadt, an die es grenzt. Diese Karte wird auf der Website der University of Texas Library gehostet.

The CIA World Factbook was one long parade of propaganda, spurious claims, and nonsense. The clue is, I suppose, in the name.
The big one is the USA-China size dispute, which is in equal parts misleading and childish

Congratulations, you found an error in a map. Almost every map has at least one deliberate error in it, this could be the on in this map.
Plus the CIA World Factbook has been appaulingly bad since forever
It was discontinued???
you know, especially in past before stuff like google maps, companies used to swap cities or create entire new one so they could see when somebody steals from them
Are you sure that the Brazilians didn’t build th city in the wrong place?
If you believe Moscow is in Venezuela, for example, whose fault is it when you „accidentally“ invade Venezuela?
You’ve got to learn to think about the big picture! The big, oily picture.
Well, don’t correct them
