    "Butcher and Griffiths consider a country a sovereign state if it has a population of at least 10,000 people, has internal control over much of its territory, and is externally recognized by its peers and controls its foreign relations."
]
 We assign each sovereign state to a region based on the mapping (using ISD/COW codes): - Americas: 2-165 - Europe: 200-395, 2558, 3375 - Africa: 400-626, 4044-6257 - Middle East: 630-698, 6821-6845 - Asia and Oceania: 700-990, 7003-9210 We also provide the following extra regions (note that this overlap with 'Africa' and 'Middle East'). These regions are used in Project Mars dataset. - North Africa and the Middle East: 435-436, 483, 600-698, 4352-4354, 4763, 4832, 6251-6845 - Sub-Saharan Africa: 402-434, 437-482, 484-591, 4044-4343, 4362-4761, 4765-4831, 4841-5814       int
