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 2012.
40 distinct values among 195
Values are stored exactly as published. 24 countries share 99. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 195 countries has every column.
