Sources

These are the sources of Wherestan's country data whose licences ask for a credit or a notice, each with the value that it gives and its licence. The other values come from public-domain sources. We select the values, convert them between units and round them for the game, so they can differ from the source. Where a few countries take a value from another source, those countries are named under the value. None of these sources endorses Wherestan.
