Hi there, I have located the root cause and will be fixing the issue:
Root cause: CIA uses FIPS codes (CanonicalCode), which differ from ISO Alpha-2 for many countries. Templates and SQL queries prioritized CanonicalCode over ISOAlpha2, so URL codes like /archive/2025/AU matched the wrong country.
Australia (AU) -> American Samoa (AS = CIA FIPS for Australia)
Singapore (SG) -> Senegal (SG = CIA FIPS for Senegal)
Germany (DE) -> Gambia (GM = CIA FIPS for Germany)
