#### Data sources

* coastline_wf (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/resources/the-world-factbook/fields/282.html)

* area_wf (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/279rank.html)

* coastline_wri (https://web.archive.org/web/20120419075053/http://earthtrends.wri.org/text/coastal-marine/variable-61.html)

#### Usage notes

* Country codes (ISO-3166, e.g. EE) should be the ```main key``` rather than country name (e.g. Estonia)

* Some country name entries are outdated (e.g. Swaziland now Eswatini, SZ). Country codes are more reliable
