				<procdesc>The following steps were performed by ESRI: Split the single country of Serbia and Montenegro into separate countries of Montenegro and Serbia using the boundary from 2006 World Administrative Units. Coded their attribute values from the CIA The World Factbook, the International Organization for Standardization, and the United Nations websites. Updated the names for Afghanistan, Isle of Man, Myanmar, Rwanda, and Timor-Leste. Replaced POP2005 with POP2006 and coded it with values from the CIA The World Factbook website and gave the records that did not have population data values of -99999. Removed an area in the Netherlands where land was in the process of being reclaimed from the sea but was never completed. Converted the data set to SDC. Created ArcGIS® layer file (.lyr), projection file (.prj), and spatial indices.</procdesc>
