Now remember, this is the CIA--how much of it is _dis_information?

I would argue that very little, if any, is disinformation.
It's exactly the same kind of information you could cull from encyclopedias and Jane's Information Group yearbooks.
If anything it would probably suffer from a lack of reliable information rather than the CIA deliberately fudging it.

The Gutenberg Project have the CIA world factbook for other years as well. So it is possible to pick one for the year the timeline start to diverge from real history, and update from there.
