A dataset that presents yearly, total populations of countries. Total population is based on counts of all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship. Country identifiers include the English-language country names, and the 2- and 3-letter ISO 3166-1 country codes. Each row contains a population value for a given year (from 1960 to 2017). Any NA values for populations indicate the non-existence of the country during that year.
