THE DATA BEHIND THE MAPS

Explore the Data Behind European Country Maps.

Membership groups use official EU/NATO lists; life expectancy uses the World Bank 2024 indicator rounded to whole years.

EU AND NATO MEMBERSHIP

Four groups · October 2026

Each selectable identity is classified as EU and NATO, EU only, NATO only, or neither. Membership does not imply political approval.

Official EU and NATO membership lists are the classification sources.

European Union · Official membership

LIFE EXPECTANCY AT BIRTH

Total population · 2024

2024 World Bank SP.DYN.LE00.IN, total years at birth. Bands: ≤75, 76–79, 80–82, ≥83; no data where unavailable.

Do not substitute a regional average for missing national statistics.

Precise 2024 observations are rounded to the nearest whole year before classification; null or absent observations remain grey. The United Kingdom uses World Bank code GB and production ID UK.

Driving side is a country-level comparison: United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus drive on the left. Associated territories may differ.
