Sources and licenses

Country JSON is assembled at build time. The public API does not query Wikidata live.

Source	What it provides	License notes
mledoze/countries	Core country records (names, codes, currencies, geography).	See the upstream repository.
Wikidata	Population, capital population, wikidataId, economics, development, government, company heuristics, and capital coordinates when missing from mledoze.	Wikidata data licensing applies.
UN regional groups map	Top-level unRegionalGroup (ISO3 → group name) in scripts/data/un-regional-groups.json.	Maintained with the repository; not live UN data.
flag-icons	SVG artwork copied and hashed into the CDN.	MIT.

API source code is MIT. Operator rebuild steps live in the repository README, not in this public guide.
