We thank Hope Steele for her excellent editing work and Neil Weinberg for his superb graphic design and layout. Weare grateful to Annabel Guinault for her invaluable research assistance. The terms country and nation as used in this report do not in all cases refer to a territorial entity that is a state as understood by international law and practice. The terms cover well-defined, geographically self-contained economic areas that may not be states but for which statistical data are maintained on a separateand independent basis.
