Total population counts all residents of a country regardless of legal status or citizenship, as of mid-year. The series follows the World Population Prospects revisions of the UN: national censuses and population registers are harmonized to a single de facto definition of population, so the figures may diverge from the official data of countries that count resident population instead.
Important: Values for the years after the latest census are estimates; for countries with heavy migration the gap with national statistics can reach several percent.
