Due to several comments regarding the nonexistence of certain countries prior to ... or the flag has changed since..., we would like to clarify that we used historical statistics from the territories that are the now existing countries to make them comparable, so indeed we have make a big effort and have presented the right extrapolation of population towards the past of already existing countries (i.e. for Russia the measurement is made on the present Russian Federation's territory inside the old Russian Empire / USSR, for India consider the current boundary instead British Raj, and so on).
