Titles
Each map is entitled with the English and local short form country name.
Maps
Each country's position is shown on the main map with its local long form name written in bold Latin script in upper left corner.
Names
Under each map appears, in bold script, the English long name with a link towards the corresponding Wikipedia entry. It is followed by the local language short name in italicized script. Only the sovereign states of the world are listed.
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.

The Euratlas World Atlas is only available as a web version.
