"The World Factbook 2010", CIA. note: where the population growth percentage is unknown, the population for 'yesterday' and 'today' are the same as for the start-off day.
note: all numbers are estimates and the results of multiplying estimates with estimates should be seen as an indication of what can be, not as what is.
