Dear Rob,

For the internet population I used the data from the wiki since the link
was already in the google spreadsheet. For the population details, I  typed
population followed by the country name in the address bar of google and in
most of the searches the result was from www.google.co.in/publicdata. I do
not expect much difference between google data and wiki. You can verify few
data and the difference may be in the last 3 digits.

With Warm Regards
