CountriesNDER

CountriesNDER is a geographical database of sovereign states and territories. The database is primarily used for research purposes and is intended to provide a comprehensive list of countries around the world.

The database includes information on recognized sovereign states, territories, and dependencies. It also includes lists of disputed territories and regions. Each entry in the database includes details such as the country's name, official language, population, government system, and geography.

The database is regularly updated to reflect changes in the status of countries and territories. This includes changes in territorial claims, diplomatic recognitions, and constitutional developments. The database is used in a variety of applications, including academic research, foreign policy analysis, and geographic information systems.

CountriesNDER is similar to other geographical databases such as SWD and GEOPONIMICA. It is available online for free, and users can access the database through a search interface or download the database in its entirety. However, the database is not without its limitations. Some critics argue that the database is incomplete and does not reflect the complexities of world politics.

Despite these limitations, CountriesNDER remains a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers seeking a comprehensive understanding of the world's countries and territories. It provides a useful starting point for analyzing global issues and trends and is widely used in academic and professional settings.

The database is maintained by a team of researchers and volunteers. It relies on publicly available information from reputable sources, including government reports, official statistics, and peer-reviewed journals.
