## No data (8 nations)

These nations publish no figure for this indicator in the sources below. Absence is a fact about the world's statistical apparatus, not a zero — they are not ranked.

- Antarctica — Antarctica has no permanent population and no national government — it is administered under the Antarctic Treaty. No statistical agency compiles national indicators for it, so there is nothing here to report.
- Falkland Islands — The Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory, administered by the United Kingdom; sovereignty is disputed by Argentina. They are not a separate reporting entity in World Bank datasets.
- French Southern and Antarctic Lands — The French Southern and Antarctic Lands have no permanent civilian population. They are administered from Réunion as an overseas territory of France and are not a separate reporting entity in international datasets.
- Kosovo
- Northern Cyprus — 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.
- Somaliland — Somaliland declared independence in 1991 and has not been recognised by the United Nations or any member state. Where its figures are collected at all, they are reported within Somalia's.
- Taiwan — Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations, and is excluded from the World Bank and UN series that supply most of this dossier. Its own statistical agencies publish extensively.
- Vatican City — Vatican City has a resident population of a few hundred and does not compile the economic and social series these indicators are drawn from.
