HOW EUROPE
IS DEFINED

Transparent, population-weighted calculations for fair comparisons

01

Europe

Includes all 50 European countries:

  • — 27 EU member states: Germany, France, Italy, etc.
  • — Other European: UK, Switzerland, Norway, etc.
02

Simple Sum

Used for absolute totals across all countries:

  • — Step 1: Collect metric for each country
  • — Step 2: Add all values together
  • — Examples: Total population, total GDP
03

Population-Weighted

Used for per-capita metrics to reflect population size:

  • — Step 1: Metric × population per country
  • — Step 2: Sum all weighted values
  • — Step 3: Divide by total population
Example: GDP/Capita PPP
