   Its statistic page, and every profile it measures

   /statistics/stateless-persons

Read from the UNHCR Refugee Population Statistics Database through UNHCR's own API, by country of residence. UNHCR's database records a zero for every country without a statelessness figure; those zeros mean "not reported" and are left out rather than printed as none. UNHCR rounds figures below five to the nearest multiple of five.
