Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2025 release

    Every year in this series comes from WUENIC’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 1983.

  • 71 distinct values among 129

    Values are stored exactly as published. 4 countries share 6. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 129 countries has every column.
