For each country, you can populate the tables with default values which were generally obtained from UN sources or are standard defaults. Alternatively, you can overwrite any of these values if you have better data or want to experiment with alternative options. For example, we have entered the population of Afghanistan as 26,088,000 but you can change this value.
