No independent statistical series meets the sourcing bar yet

Northern Cyprus is recognised as a state by Türkiye alone. It is not a member of the United Nations or the World Bank, and does not appear as a separate entity in the datasets these indicators are drawn from.

Every figure in a Terralore dossier carries the publisher that produced it and the year it refers to. Where no such figure exists the gap is recorded rather than estimated — an imputed number is indistinguishable from a sourced one once it is rendered in the same row, and that would make the whole dossier un-citable. What is above — capital, population, area, languages, currency — comes from the atlas' own reference dataset. It is a smaller claim, honestly made.
