World places, credited (no open licence)

Official population figures for places the World Bank's API leaves out, from statistics offices that publish them under plain copyright or with no licence stated. They are republished as facts, each credited to its publisher with a link to its own page, and kept apart from the open-licence dataset alreadyopen/world-places. Rebuilt weekly by AlreadyOpen/world-places.

Terms: no open licence. Each file names its publisher and links its terms where one exists; check them before reuse. Somaliland's figure is entered by hand from its PDF. Western Sahara is not here: Morocco HCP's regional figures are CC BY 4.0 and sit in the open dataset.

index.json, <source>.json (one per source, never merged), manifest.json. Each file carries "licence_note".
Northern Cyprus and Somaliland use Natural Earth's codes CYN and SOL. saint_helena.json holds Tristan da Cunha as a sub-place SHN-TA with its own publisher and url (Ascension publishes no figures). somaliland_manual.json is entered by hand from the PDF (entered_by_hand says when) and rechecked yearly.
