|
|
|
|
- **Source:** Wikipedia — [List of countries and dependencies by population](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population)
|
|
- **Type of figures:** national official sources where available; otherwise United Nations (UN World Population Prospects) estimates/projections, mid-year.
|
|
- **Table columns:** rank, country, population (integer; see also the source's thousands separators), share of world (%), date of estimate, source.
|
|
- **Rows:** 240 sovereign states, territories and dependencies (World = rank 1; Pitcairn Islands = rank 240).
|
|
- **Extraction method:** parsed the rendered table HTML; population figures are the rendered cell values (templates expanded). Ref markers stripped from the `source` column.
