Shall we discuss COW and V-Dem definitions at length? Or just refer to them?
Shall we list countries in alphabetical order by continents? Or further refer to regions like V-Dem (e.g. Central Africa, East/Horn of Africa etc.)
-> I think it would be good if the countries are listed alphabetically but the table has a column for regions and sub-regions to filter them. I would suggest to use the UN defintions for regions and sub-regions, see https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/

Why ignore some countries
for example, we have data for North Vietnam during the split, why would we not incorporate this into Wesis? You have it listed as a related entry cow_code 817 there are other examples like this (eg., Serbia, Serbia and Montenegro)
