Default Data I am looking for

I am nearing the end of the development of my mapping system. The final data integration and a small amount of code are all that are left (before beta testing). My biggest problem now is a lack of resource data for the world out side the United States. The US-centric nature of my existing data reflects both the fact that is was easier for me to find and that this was originally envisioned as a Morrow Project recovery tool.

I have have over 50,000 data points inside the US reflecting the following.

Military Bases
Oil and Natural Gas Fields
Chemical Plants
Steel Mills
Mines
NBC warfare facilities (including bio containment facilities)
Power Plants (Nuclear/Hydro/Renewable/Fueled)
Breweries/Ethanol Production Plants
Oil Refineries
Ammunition Plants
Intelligence Agency Facilities
Helium Recovery Facilities


I am not going to launch until I have at least a minimum of the above data for locations outside the US. If anyone has run across data for such facilities outside the US I would appreciate directions to it. I eventually could find it all but I figured if someone else had found some of this data it might save some time (collecting the US data took months).

World wide data or country specific data would both be useful as long as there is something that can be searched for on Google. Such as a city , district, postal code. KML/KMZ files would also be very useful.

Chico has already provided me with some useful data about the USSR but I would be interested in seeing anything you guys think might be useful.

Thanks in advance guys.

OpenStreetMap will have at least some of that data. You can get a weekly data dump XML file (known as the Planet file). It's big (over 160GB, compressed using bzip2 to around 6GB), but there are mirror sites like Cloudmade. who offer extracts covering individual continents and countries.

Pulling the 6.8 gig file now, but I am hoping that some of the Point of interest extracts will do the trick. Processing a 160 gig file is never fun. Thanks for the pointer. I have like 9 open street maps as part of my system but did not think of using their POI database.
