+## External Data Sources
+
+We use external data to enrich Claude usage data with external economic and demographic sources.
+
+### ISO Country Codes
+
+**ISO 3166 Country Codes**
+
+International standard codes for representing countries and territories, used for mapping IP-based geolocation data to standardized country identifiers.
+
+- **Standard**: ISO 3166-1
+- **Source**: GeoNames geographical database
+- **URL**: https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/countryInfo.txt
+- **License**: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
+- **Attribution note**: Data in the data/intermediate and data/output folders have been processed and modified from original source; modifications to data in data/intermediate include extracting only tabular data, selecting a subset of columns, and renaming columns; modifications to data in data/output include transforming data to long format
+- **Download date**: September 2, 2025
+- **Output files**:
+  - `geonames_countryInfo.txt` (raw GeoNames data in data/input/)
+  - `iso_country_codes.csv` (processed country codes in data/intermediate/)
+- **Key fields**:
+  - `iso_alpha_2`: Two-letter country code (e.g., "US", "GB", "FR")

+- **Usage**: Maps IP-based country identification to standardized ISO codes for consistent geographic aggregation
+
+### ISO Region Code Mapping
+
+Region-level geographic data uses ISO 3166-2 standard subdivision codes. Some countries were excluded from region-level analysis due to mapping issues between source data codes and ISO 3166-2 standards. Country-level data remains available for all countries.
