- Names only, no figures: used to label nationalities in the four site languages. Historical states (e.g. "Jugoslawien") and sub-regions of other BFS tables are not in this list; Votara shows their German name with a language tag. The structural survey files use the same codes but sometimes older names (e.g. "Türkei" in the 2024 appendix, "Türkiye" here).
