Read before you use

How values are stored
  • 58 distinct values among 81

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 14 decimals. 24 countries share 100.000. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • 5 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
