About the data

Two data modes

  • Demo shows generated sample values so every chart and table can be explored. They are not real statistics and are tagged Sample wherever they appear.
  • Sourced shows only figures with a named source and reference period, tagged Sourced. Census counts and population estimates stay separate. Anything without a checked source is marked Unavailable.
  • The two are never combined in one table, chart or ranking.

Dates and times

  • Statistics are published snapshots with a stated reference year, not live data.
  • Holidays are calculated from published rules and labelled with their jurisdiction.
  • Local times use your device clock.

Maps and photographs

  • Country boundaries: Natural Earth, 1:110m. Very small states appear as points.
  • Photographs: Wikimedia Commons. The photographer, licence and source are shown on every image.
  • Street maps © OpenStreetMap contributors.
