## How a country is added

We need three things released under an open licence: official administrative boundaries, population figures from the national statistics office, and a gazetteer of settlements. Map data (OpenStreetMap, Overture Maps), climate (NASA POWER) and public-domain history (the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica) are then added to every page. Nothing is user-submitted.
