Checked facts
Most of this page is imported in bulk and carries no source of its own. These entries were checked by hand against the source named, and are reapplied after every dataset rebuild so a refetch cannot quietly put the old value back.

Continents
— Seven-continent model. A country spanning two continents is filed under the one containing its capital; the other is accepted too.
The imported list was unordered and included overseas territory, so its first entry was not the continent the country is in.
