Romaine, I see your point, but having a page with incomplete/incorrect information is also a problem. The page Lodewijk has linked to is about 2015 (per the right-hand-side column) and the list of countries in it is not complete. It can be confusing for people if they land on that page. I understand that you have a lot on your plate, I'd say if someone has bandwidth to fix that page, they should feel free to.
