- Trade views identify countries without usable data; conflicts draw on UCDP and a cited hand-built list, while bases use another cited list.
Field notes
Country views are designed to expose both figures and the entries behind them, rather than leaving the map as a stand-alone picture. The page attributes trade data to IMF statistics, combines Uppsala conflict data with a cited hand-built list, and identifies a separate cited list for military bases. It also marks countries with no usable trade data for a given year.
