2. Statistical Reference Vintage, Periodic Updates & Boundary Verification
MapMelt bundles both the 2023 World Bank WDI Verified Baseline (used for deterministic parity across saved shares) and the 2024–2025 WDI/UN Demographic Revision. Players can switch between statistical vintages directly in the Charter panel. Capital markers use genuine WGS84 capital city coordinates (data/populated-places.json, 207 national capitals + 48 major global metropolises = 255 populated places) rather than country polygon centroids, and all 31 sovereign microstates feature customized multi-island or coastal vector contours.
3. Complete Country, Genuine Capital & WDI Reference Table (208 Entities & 208 Matched SVG Flags)
Below is the complete 208-entity reference table bundled in MapMelt (mapmelt.com), including genuine capital coordinates, 2023 WDI Baseline & 2024 Revision populations, land areas, and explicit cartographic/disputed territory notes.
