Well before 2 days ago, there was the CIA World Factbook, widely considered the most regarded and cited source of world statistics (yes, even given the source - the reason behind its creation and it’s maintainers was quite interesting).
Of course, in an an administration made up of bullshit, facts are the enemy, so it has been removed and probably destroyed.
