Coverage is incomplete by design
25 information blocks are published for Vanuatu. The coverage and verification status of every one is shown before you subscribe.
Every block carries a verification status, shown as soon as you have access. Where a figure has not been confirmed, it is labelled as structural or as sample data rather than presented as fact.
