The first recorded refresh: the 2024–2025 vintages arrive
All nine data domains and the USGS minerals were re-pulled together for the corpus's first recorded refresh. The World Bank's compilation has advanced most population, urbanisation and electricity-access series to 2025 and the GDP family to 2024: 1,324 observations are new vintages or first publications, 37 carry upstream revisions, and 2 were withdrawn. Every change resolves to its claim ID in the complete record.
