Notes and References

1. Calculated, when available, from the latest national censuses or most recent official estimates (many of which are cited in their respective column), using the exponential formula shown in the list of countries by past and projected future population article. This is done to normalize the different populations to a unique date, so that they are really comparable.
2. It corresponds to the following formula: projection₂₀₁₅/projection₂₀₁₄x100-100.
3. It corresponds to the calculation: projection₂₀₁₅*annual_growth/100.
4. It corresponds to the formula: LN(2)/LN(growth/100+1), which produces exactly the same result as LOG₁₀(2)/LOG₁₀(growth/100+1).
5. Includes the disputed territory of Crimea, although it is not internationally recognized as a part of Russia.
6. It not only refers to the population of European or Metropolitan France, but it also includes the overseas departments (in French, (Départements d'outre-mer, DOM), which are French Guiana (Guyane), Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, and Réunion. The overseas collectivities (Collectivités d'outre-mer COM), are also included: French Polynesia (Polynésie française), New Caledonia (Nouvelle-Calédonie), Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon (Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon), and Wallis and Futuna (Wallis-et-Futuna).
