Area
The surface of each country is given in square kilometres as it appears in Wikipedia. For the special status territories, the area is given when known.
Population
Census are not taken regularly and population must be considered as an
estimate for the given year. The main source for that is a comparison
between French, English and German entries for each country in Wikipedia.
Average life expectancy
As Gross Domestic Product (GDP) value is a limited indicator for the standard of living and as Human Development Index
(HDI) takes into account GDP and literacy wich is itself strongly
correlated to average life expectancy, we are giving here only the average life expectancy in each country. Our source is the World Health Organization (WHO) 2006 World Health Report.
Special status territories
Internationally unrecognized or unclear status entities are listed here separately with their de jure state.
