The figures, side by side

Each figure is the same observation, with the same source, as on the two dossiers. Every value shows the year it was observed — vintages differ by indicator and nation. A “—” is an absence in the source data, never a zero. Metric names link to the world ranking; values open the figure on its own dossier.

Entangled histories

One event in which either nation’s sourced chronicle names the other — including under earlier names of the same state. Each is the same record, with the same sources, as on its own chronicle; nothing here was written for this page.

    Russian arbitration on the Maroni frontier

    Emperor Alexander III of Russia, as arbitrator, rules that the Awa is the border river between French Guiana and Suriname; land upstream of its confluence with the Tapanahoni goes to the Netherlands. The award does not settle every question on the Suriname frontier.
