Introduction

These counters are estimates based on publically available census, economic and historical data from various world sources. They should not be used as documented facts.

The counters on this page are temporarily suspended until a new source code is developed. Apparently, we have improperly used some coding which we believed was public. Values are estimated for Early January 2009.
