Generally an estimate for July 2005 by the United States Central Intelligence Agency's The World Factbook [59], unless specified

⇧ Estimate for May 25, 2005 by the U.S. Census Bureau [60]
⇧ Estimate for first quarter of 2005 by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany [61]
⇧ Estimate for July 1, 2005 by Spain's National Statistics Institute [62]
⇧ Estimate for June 30 2005 by Chile's Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas [63]
⇧ Estimated resident population for March 31 2005 by Statistics New Zealand

Notes

⇧ Does not include Hong Kong, Macau or the territories administered by the Republic of China (Taiwan, Pescadores, Quemoy and Matsu)
⇧ Includes Taiwan, Pescadores, Quemoy and Matsu, which are claimed by the People's Republic of China
⇧ In addition, there are about 187,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank and fewer than 177,000 in East Jerusalem; estimate for July 2004 by the United States Central Intelligence Agency's The World Factbook [64]
⇧ Estimates for this country take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected
⇧ Brazil took a count in August 2000, which reported a population of 169,799,170; that figure was about 3.3% lower than projections by the US Census Bureau, and is close to the implied underenumeration of 4.6% for the 1991 census
⇧ Includes 5,576,076 non-nationals
⇧ Since the outbreak of hostilities between the government and armed Tamil separatists in the mid-1980s, several hundred thousand Tamil civilians have fled the island; as of yearend 2000, approximately 65,000 were housed in 131 refugee camps in south India, another 40,000 lived outside the Indian camps, and more than 200,000 Tamils have sought refuge in the West
⇧ The 1997 Mozambican census reported a population of 16,099,246
⇧ In addition, about 40,000 people live in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights - 20,000 Arabs (18,000 Druze and 2,000 Alawites) and about 20,000 Israeli settlers
⇧ This estimate was derived from an official census taken in 1975 by the Somali Government; population counting in Somalia is complicated by the large number of nomads and by refugee movements in response to famine and clan warfare
⇧ Includes about 187,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank, about 20,000 in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, more than 5,000 in the Gaza Strip, and fewer than 177,000 in East Jerusalem
⇧ Includes 166,510 non-nationals
⇧ Includes 577,293 non-nationals
⇧ Includes an estimated 1,606,079 non-nationals; the 17 December 1995 census presents a total population figure of 2,377,453, and there are estimates of 3.44 million for 2002
⇧ Includes 1,291,354 non-nationals
⇧ Other estimates range as low as 810,000
⇧ In addition, there are more than 5,000 Israeli settlers in the Gaza Strip
⇧ Other estimates range as low as 800,000
