Colonies are defined in terms of contemporary nation states: along current independent countries and their borders.   
[]
 This is is an aggregation of the number of countries that are not colonized nor are colonizers in a given year, by OWID geographic region or World Bank income groups. We include Europe as a region because we conventionally classify Cyprus as a European country. The Colonial Dates Dataset data meanwhile considers Cyprus a European overseas colony. Years are defined from last date aggregations available in the Colonial Dates Dataset. This means that when sources differ, years of colonization are defined from the last date between them. This is different from mean date aggregations (also available), which averages the dates of colonization across the original sources. Years have been expanded to show the full range of years in the dataset, from 1462 to 2022. The original dataset only includes the years where a country was colonized.
