The International Database (IDB) includes population estimates and projections and other demographic indicators for over 200 countries and areas of the world with populations of 5,000 or more. We update the IDB regularly to deliver new information for educational, research, program planning, and policymaking needs.
The IDB reflects U.S. government policy. Country names used in the IDB are consistent with federal government standards established by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN). Country codes shown in the IDB are from the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 10-4 standard (now retired) as well as the Geopolitical Entities, Names, and Codes (GENC) standard (preferred). Land boundaries presented in the IDB are from the Large-Scale International Boundaries dataset released by the U.S. Department of State.
Below is a table of all 227 countries and areas presented in the IDB. This table includes the GENC-2 code, name, and year last revised for each country or area. Only countries or areas with an estimated population of 5,000 or more are shown in the IDB.
All countries and areas were most recently updated in December 2020 (unless a more recent year is shown in the table) when the IDB projection time series was extended forward to the year 2100. The revision dates shown below reflect the most recent year in which the base population and/or components of population change were researched, reassessed, and adjusted. Countries are updated based on available funding and discovery of new demographic information.
