Where the Runtime Data comes from

Where I got the data in rtlib/data.

nations.txt is manually compiled from various sources:

• www.bcpl.net/~jspath/isocodes.html

• population: www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2119rank.html

• area is in in km2 and comes from www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2147rank.html

• name_nl and name_fr come from statbel.fgov.be/figures/geobel_fr.asp

cities_be.txt is generated by cities_be.py from belgzip.csv which comes from 3lib.ukonline.co.uk/pocketinfo/data/belgzip.csv

cities_de.txt is generated by cities_de.py from cities_de.html which is a mirror of de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_St%C3%A4dte_in_Deutschland
