- Calculated, when available, from the latest national censuses or most recent official estimates (many of which are cited in their respective column), using the exponential formula shown on the List of countries by past and future population article. This is done to normalize the different populations to a unique date, so that they are really comparable.
- It corresponds to the following formula: projection2015/proj\ction2014x100-100.
- It corresponds to the calculation: projection2015*annual_growth/100.
- It corresponds to the formula: LN(2)/LN(growth/100+1), which produces exactly the same result as LOG10(2)/LOG10(growth/100+1).
- The mid-2015 demographic projection excludes the disputed territory of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (the so-called Crimean Federal District), although the Russian official estimate includes both of them.
- Special Administrative Region (SAR): Former British colony, it definitely reverted to Chinese sovereignty on July 1, 1997.
- It comprises the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, separated between each other by an Israeli land corridor.
- Special Administrative Region (SAR): Former Portuguese colony, it reverted to Chinese sovereignty on December 20, 1999.
