First-level units: the 36 states; the 770 districts are the second level. Population of each region: a 2025 estimate: the latest official figure (a census or an estimate, as each item names it) scaled with the rest of its country’s regions to the World Bank’s 2025 national total, so a country’s regions share one year. Each item names its source and year. Regions without a figure are left out. Sources: OpenStreetMap (ODbL), World Bank (CC BY 4.0), with the official figures each item names.
