Population of each region: the latest figure recorded on Wikidata (P1082), checked against the outline, so a figure belonging to another unit (the capital city, a larger or reorganised region) or implausible for the region is not used. Each item names its source and year; years differ between countries. Regions without a figure are left out. Sources: OpenStreetMap (ODbL), Wikidata (CC0).
