How this comparison is built

A measurement appears only when both countries publish a current value for it in the official lane. Nothing is estimated to fill a gap, and no value is converted between different definitions to make a row line up.

The better value is marked only where the two sides are the same measurement in the same unit. Where they are not — a figure that describes how a system is organised rather than how well it performs, for instance — both numbers are shown and neither is marked.
