To cite a country in the CIA World Factbook using APA format, you would follow the following guidelines:

1. Start with the author's name, which in this case is the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

2. Next, include the year of publication, which can be found at the bottom of the webpage.

3. Then, include the title of the webpage, which is "The World Factbook."

4. After the title, include the URL of the webpage, which is http://cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html.

5. Finally, include the specific country you are citing, followed by the word "Country Profile."

Example:
Central Intelligence Agency. (2020). The World Factbook. Retrieved from http://cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html
United States Country Profile.

In the in-text citation, you would use the author's name and the year of publication (Central Intelligence Agency, 2020). If you are directly quoting information from the country profile, be sure to include the page number as well.

Example:
According to the Central Intelligence Agency (2020), "the United States is a federal republic" (p. 1).
