Percentages are calculated from unrounded numbers. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. Populations of less than 1,000 are shown as <1,000. Populations of 1,000 to 9,999 are shown as <10,000. Populations of 10,000 and more are rounded to the ten thousands. Estimated 2010 total population figures are based primarily on the 2010 revision of the U.N. Population Prospects. The estimate for Kosovo is based on the World Religion Database. The estimate for Serbia is based on the U.N. figures minus the Kosovo figure from the World Religion Database. The Taiwan estimate is based on the U.N.’s regional total, which includes Taiwan’s population but does not specifically identify Taiwan. The Sudan and South Sudan estimates are based on the U.N. figure for Sudan divided using estimates from the World Religion Database.
