04Caveats

Read before you use

What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.

The site’s method

One year of the 2026 release
Every year in this series comes from Frederick Solt’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method. It can differ from what was first published for 2013.
126 distinct values among 172
Values are stored exactly as published, to 1 decimal. 4 countries share 25.3. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
The position is ours
Frederick Solt publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.
Which end is better
A higher value is the worse result.
Nothing missing
Every one of the 172 countries has every column.

What this site changed: Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

Licence: CC0 1.0. No conditions at all. Crediting the publisher is still the courteous thing to do.
