Notes and Definitions

In addition to the updating of information, the following
changes have been made in this edition of The World

profiles at this time. There are new entries on Population

percentage share, Electricity--production by source (fossil
fuel, hydro, nuclear, other), Electricity--exports, and
Electricity--imports. A new reference map of Kosovo has been
included and terrain has been added to most of the reference
