Countries with any figure: 215
Years: 1750–2024
Compare on: 2024 215 countries
Newest year: 2024 215 countries
Every year: 6 countries
Stop before 2024: 0 countries

Statistical offices report at different speeds, so the newest year usually has fewer countries than the years before it. A country's "latest" figure elsewhere on this site can therefore be from different years for different countries; rankings only compare countries with a figure for the same year.
