The CountryWatch.com Country Information Data Sample was created using many sources. The source for each attribute is listed in the attribute definition. Country Information Data Sample is a small sample of a much larger dataset of information that will be available in a searchable format on the CountryWatch.com site (http://www.countrywatch.com) by December 1, 2000.
The following steps were performed by ESRI for Data & Maps 2002: Renamed Serbia and Montenegro to Yugoslavia. Updated Fips_cntry attribute for East Timor and Yugoslavia. The following steps were performed by ESRI: Extracted table from CountryWatch.com in an electronic mail system attachment. Renamed several attributes to match attribute names found in World Countries shapefiles. Added records of countries present in the World Countries shapefiles allowing a better match when joining those data sets to this table. Added Cw_data attribute to show which records were from CountryWatch.com and which were supplied by ESRI. Added Politi_map attribute. Added the values for the country records supplied by ESRI for attributes Fips_cntry, Cntry_name, Politi_map, and Cw_data. Calculated the values to -99, for the country records supplied by ESRI for all other attributes, to indicate data not supplied by CountryWatch.com. Edited the spelling of the names in the Cntry_name attribute to match names in the World Countries shapefiles. Note: China and Taiwan are considered one country. In the World Countries shapefiles they are two separate countries.
The following steps were performed by ESRI: Renamed Yugoslavia to Serbia and Montenegro.
The following steps were performed by ESRI: Changed CNTRY_NAME attribute value from 'East Timor' to 'Timor Leste'.
The following steps were performed by ESRI: Removed the Paracel and Spratly island groups.

The average annual percent change in the population, resulting from a surplus (or deficit) of births over deaths and the balance of migrants entering and leaving a country. The rate may be positive or negative. The growth rate is a factor in determining how great a burden would be imposed on a country by the changing needs of its people for infrastructure (e.g., schools, hospitals, housing, roads), resources (e.g., food, water, electricity), and jobs. Rapid population growth can be seen as threatening by neighboring countries. Source: CountryWatch Calculations Based on U.S. Census Bureau International Database - 2000 estimate.

The ratio of the urban population divided by the total population expressed as a percent. Usually the urban area is defined and the residual from the total population is taken as rural. In practice, the criteria adopted for distinguishing between urban and rural areas vary among countries. However, these criteria can be roughly divided into three major groups: classification of localities of a certain size as urban; classification of administrative centres of minor civil divisions as urban; and classification of centres of minor civil divisions on a chosen criterion which may include type of local government, number of inhabitants or proportion of population engaged in agriculture. Thus, the urban and rural population estimates in this domain are based on the varying national definitions of urban areas.

The distribution of the population 0-14 years. The age structure of a population affects a nation's key socioeconomic issues. Countries with young populations (high percentage under age 15) need to invest more in schools, while countries with older populations (high percentage ages 60 and over) need to invest more in the health sector. The age structure can also be used to help predict potential political issues. For example, the rapid growth of a young adult population unable to find employment can lead to unrest.

This indicator is significantly affected by age distribution, and most countries will eventually show a rise in the overall death rate, in spite of continued decline in mortality at all ages, as declining fertility results in an aging population.

The nominal productive capacity of a given country in billions of U.S. dollars. The Gross Domestic Production (GDP) measures the value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year. Estimates by CountryWatch.com of real GDP in most countries are made by converting estimates by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the purchasing power parity value of GDP for a reference year for each country to a 1995 base through the use of the U.S. GDP deflator. CIA reference year estimates of real GDP for most countries are given in the 2000 edition of the CIA World Factbook for years ranging from 1993 to 1999. The time series estimates for the years from 1995 to 1999 are generated for non reference year values by utilizing the real GDP growth rates for 1995-1999 given by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the May 2000 edition of the World Economic Outlook. Exceptions to this method were used for: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Nauru, Cuba, Palau, Holy See, San Marino, North Korea, Serbia & Montenegro, Liberia, Somalia, Liechtenstein, Tonga, Monaco, Tuvalu. In these cases, the data on growth rates for these countries are not available so we cannot update the CIA World Fact Book Purchasing Power Parity Real GDP numbers to the latest year using our standard methodology. Therefore, we employ a method of estimating the economies' growth rates based upon data on output of key sectors of each economy which provides for a consistent methodology for all countries and a reasonable measure of economic growth.

The standard of living in a given country in U.S. dollars. The Gross Domestic Production (GDP) measures the value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year and a per capita adjustment normalizes this variable by population. GDP is determined through the use of the Purchase Power Parity formulas (PPP). The PPP method involves the use of standardized international dollar price weights, which are applied to the quantities of final goods and services produced in a given economy. The data derived from the PPP method provide the best available starting point for comparisons of economic strength and well being between countries.
