Data gaps

This bundle is thin. No foreign-reserves, SIPRI military-expenditure, V-Dem governance, or energy figures are present for the Marshall Islands. The COW personnel figure of zero for 2022 is reported as supplied; whether that reflects an actual absence of a standing force or a data gap in the underlying COW dataset cannot be determined from this bundle. No further analysis is supportable without additional data.
