No information is available for non-listed countries.
Only indigenous inhabitants are covered by the above population figures, i.e., population of military facilities or research stations are not included. The military bases Akrotiri and Dhekelia, British Indian Ocean Territory, and Guantanamo Bay are not listed. Despite the French overseas departments and the municipalities of the Caribbean Netherlands are integral parts of France and the Netherlands, respectively, they are listed as separate entries because of the large distances to the mainland.
Source: Most population figures are based on official data of national statistical offices provided by »City Population«. Entries marked with »WFB« are taken from the CIA World Factbook (2017-01-17).
