 0     v2terr grapher/state_capacity/2023-10-19/state_capacity_dataset/state_capacity_dataset#v2terr   2 minor           Based on the expert assessments by V-Dem. It captures the extent to which the state has effective control over its territory. For this indicator, we start with the `v2svstterr` measure of state authority over territory from V-Dem. This is a measure in which country experts are asked to estimate the percentage of the territory in a country over which the state has effective control. Given the highly skewed distribution of this variable, we convert the percentage to a proportion and then transform it using the inverse normal. Where a state has control of 100% of country territory, and the inverse normal is thus undefined, we instead use the inverse normal of .9999. The resulting scale is thus similar to that of a standard normal distribution, and the effect is to widen the range of scores where the data are very concentrated at near 100% territorial control. The data cover 177 countries during the 1960-2015 time period.
