Data sources

Where the numbers and borders come from.
  • Province population: GHSL GHS-POP R2023A, epoch 2025 (modelled estimate), aggregated from 30 arc-second cells.
  • National GDP: World Bank NY.GDP.MKTP.CD, latest available year per country (mostly 2024–2025). Province GDP is distributed by a documented density/development heuristic, not regional statistics.
  • Military expenditure: World Bank MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS (SIPRI), latest year. Troop numbers: World Bank MS.MIL.TOTL.P1 (includes paramilitary) unless overridden.
  • Countries only partly inside a regional map keep the rest of their population and output off the map.
  • Diplomacy, wars, treaties, claims and disputes: curated by the author from public knowledge up to mid-2026; not verified against events after that date.
  • Nothing in this file is synchronised with real-world events after the reference date.

Boundaries: Natural Earth (public domain), refined with geoBoundaries (CC BY, CC BY-SA, ODbL, OGL). Population: GHSL GHS-POP. Elevation: AWS Terrain Tiles. Economy and armed forces: the World Bank. Flags: flag-icons (MIT); entity flags are simplified renditions.
