Supplementary notes

*The source used for figures from 1000-1900 splits the world into two groups; Group A refers to Western Europe, Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and the U.S. This is in line with the UN's classification of "more developed countries", and UN data (available here) was used for the figures from 1950-2020. All other countries can be considered Group B, or "less developed". The only difference between the sources is that figures for EU countries in Eastern Europe are included with "less developed countries" before 1950, and with "more developed countries" from 1950 onwards.
