World Atlas Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Egypt — The entry states Egypt is bordered by 'Palestine and Israel' to the northeast, but 'Palestine' is not a universally recognized sovereign state; the correct phrasing should refer to Israel and the Gaza Strip.

Egypt — The entry says Egypt's population is 'over 107 million', but recent official estimates place it at around 104-105 million, making this a factual inaccuracy.

Ethiopia — The entry states 'As of 2026, it has around 138 million inhabitants' — 2026 is a future date not yet reached; current estimates as of 2024 are around 126-128 million, so this is an invented or speculative claim.

Ethiopia — The entry says 'In 980 BC, the Kingdom of D'mt extended its realm' — the Kingdom of D'mt is generally dated to around the 10th to 5th centuries BC, but 980 BC is an overly precise and unsupported date; most scholars place its emergence later, around 700-500 BC

Uganda — The entry states 'As of 2024, it had a population of 45.9 million' — the widely-cited UN estimate for Uganda's 2024 population is approximately 49.9 million, not 45.9 million.

Ghana — The entry states Ghana is the 'second-most populous country in West Africa' but it is actually third after Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire.

Ghana — The entry claims Lake Volta is the 'world's third-largest reservoir by volume' but it is not; it is typically ranked lower (e.g., 7th or 8th by volume).

Zambia — The entry states 'Region=Eastern Africa' in the STATS section, but Zambia is widely recognized as part of Southern Africa, not Eastern Africa.

Zambia — The LORE section says 'Following European expeditions in the eighteenth century' but major European exploration of the area occurred in the nineteenth century, not the eighteenth.

Botswana — The entry states 'Botswana has 17 administrative Districts of Botswana.' In fact, Botswana has 10 administrative districts (as of the most recent official structure), not 17.

Botswana — The entry states 'The Constitution of Botswana recognises a homogeneous Tswana state.' This is inaccurate; the Constitution of Botswana does not declare a homogeneous Tswana state; it recognizes multiple ethnic groups and does not enshrine Tswana dominance in

Rwanda — The entry states 'Rwanda is the 21st most densely populated country in the world', but as of recent data, Rwanda is typically ranked around 18th or 19th most densely populated, not 21st.

Rwanda — The INTRO lists only 'English, French, Kinyarwanda' but Swahili was added as an official language in 2017, making the INTRO factually incomplete.

Mali — The entry states that French was replaced as the official language in 2022 by 13 African languages, but the change occurred in 2023 with French becoming a working language and 13 national languages granted official status.

Mali — The entry says the Songhai Empire absorbed the Mali Empire in 1468, but historically the Mali Empire continued to exist in reduced form until the late 16th or 17th century, making 'absorbed' misleading as a complete absorption date.
