Note on the data. Figures are the United Nations mid 2025 population estimates (World Population Prospects 2024, as carried in the Statistical Yearbook table released in November 2025), read on 3 October 2026, for the countries on Ribbia's list of 197. Taiwan and Vatican City have no figure in that table and are left out rather than estimated.
