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 1994.
61 distinct values among 188
Values are stored exactly as published. 10 countries share 97. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 188 countries has every column.
