World Heritage
Heritage sites shown here are those a source places in this region. A site that spans several regions is listed in each one it crosses. Some of this country's sites appear on no region page at all: the source records no containing region for them, so we would have to guess. They are all on the country page. Go to the country page.
Weather
Conditions for this region were not fetched. This is not a gap in the forecast and not a failure at the source — we have not asked for it. The country's conditions are on the country page. Go to the country page.
Emergency numbers
Shown for the country. This is a national standard and does not change between regions.
- 101listed as: emergency medical services
- 117listed as: police
- 118listed as: fire department
Shown in numerical order, which is not an order of priority.
Listed by the source, mostly from ITU-T E.129. We have not dialled these numbers, and where a service is named it is the source's description rather than ours.
Plugs, voltage and domains

What is not on this page
These sections are absent rather than shown empty, and the reasons are not the same. 0 of 3 are absent because of someone else's terms; 1 because of a limit of ours; 2 because the thing itself does not exist at this level. Every licence below has now been read — none of these is waiting on someone to go and look.
Statistics
The World Bank publishes these figures for the country as a whole. There is no regional figure to fetch — not one we are missing, one that does not exist — so rather than divide a national number and present the arithmetic as a measurement, this section stays on the country page, where the figure is true.
Capital
A region does not have a capital. This is not a gap in what we hold or in what anyone publishes: there is no fact of this kind at this level for any source to have. The country's capital is on the country page, where it belongs.
Outline map
The boundary of this region exists and is published. Ours is the limit: the outline file we vendored is ne_10m_admin_0_countries, which carries countries and nothing inside them. Nobody withheld this from us and no licence is in question — we have not built it yet.
