Country dictionary

Every reporter in the dataset. Aggregates (like “Other Asia, nes”) are groupings, not countries — they stay in world totals but have no country page. Historical entries ended during the covered period; “stitched into” shows where their series continue. BACI numeric codes can differ from ISO numeric codes, which is why everything joins on ISO3.
