Country Info Lookup
Find country facts with dated population estimates, source links and CSV export.
Your search goes to Toolvore and is matched against the World Bank directory. Only the selected country code is sent to the population provider; exports are generated in your browser. Provider data may be cached for up to 24 hours.
Search World Bank country/economy facts with dated population estimates, resolve ambiguous names and download a source-linked CSV.
How to use it
- 1Enter a country/economy name or directory code and choose Find country.
- 2If several names match, choose the intended economy.
- 3Read the population reference year and provider update date alongside the other facts.
- 4Download a CSV or follow the World Bank source links to investigate the data.
Example
- Input
- Congo
- Output
- Choose Congo, Dem. Rep. (CD / COD) or Congo, Rep. (CG / COG).
Names follow World Bank data and may change; population is retrieved only after selection.
What happens to your data
Your typed country query goes to Toolvore only. World Bank requests contain the fixed directory endpoint or selected economy code, not the typed query. No lookup runs automatically. Provider responses may be cached for up to 24 hours. CSV exports are generated locally; downloaded copies remain on your device.

Look up a country or economy using its name or a two- or three-letter code, then see its World Bank capital, region, income classification and latest available total-population observation. Every population value carries its reference year. A retrieved timestamp describes the lookup, not the date of a census.
Partial names can be ambiguous: searching Congo offers both matching economies instead of silently choosing one. Download the facts as a CSV with source URLs and date labels for a research note, classroom exercise or a dataset check.
How it works
Searches use the World Bank country directory, excluding aggregate regions and income groups. Exact directory names and codes take priority; a small set of common aliases, such as UK and South Korea, is recognized. Otherwise the tool shows up to 20 partial-name matches. It does not geocode a city and reinterpret that city's population as the population of the country.
For a selected economy, the tool requests the most recent non-empty SP.POP.TOTL observation. This total-population series is dated, can be revised and is not a live population counter. The provider's dataset-update date is shown separately from the population year. If this request fails, the country profile remains useful but population is explicitly unavailable—not zero.
World Bank country/economy coverage includes territories and uses the provider's naming and code conventions. A displayed code or label is not a position on sovereignty. A capital field can be incomplete for countries with several seats of government; income classification is an economy-level grouping, not an individual's income. No single timezone, language, currency or geographic centre is inferred.
Lookups are explicit and limited to 2–80 characters. Your typed query goes to Toolvore only. Toolvore requests the World Bank directory and the selected economy code, not the typed query. Provider requests have time and response-size limits and may use cached data up to 24 hours old. Editing the query or cancelling clears the old result. The CSV preserves source attribution, population year and limitations; spreadsheet formula-like text is escaped for safer import.
Worked example: Disambiguate a shared country name
- Input
- Congo
- Result
- Congo, Dem. Rep. (CD / COD) and Congo, Rep. (CG / COG)
Select the intended economy before retrieving its population. World Bank names and coverage can change.
Common use cases
- Checking country/economy codes without accidentally matching a city
- Recording a population estimate together with its source year
- Exporting a source-linked country fact sheet for research
- Distinguishing similarly named countries before a data lookup
Frequently asked questions
Is the displayed population current today?＋
No. It is the newest available non-empty World Bank total-population observation, with its reference year. A recently retrieved result may still describe an earlier year. Use the source link to inspect methodology and revisions.
Why are timezone and flags not shown?＋
The country directory used here does not provide a reliable whole-country timezone. Many countries span several zones. This tool avoids guessing from one city or adding a separate image-host request just for a decorative flag.
Why can an economy be listed but its population be unavailable?＋
Directory coverage and indicator coverage differ, and the population endpoint may fail independently. Missing data is reported as unavailable rather than filled with a city population or a zero.
Can I search by country code?＋
Yes. Directory two- and three-letter codes, such as JP/JPN and GB/GBR, work directly. The World Bank includes economies and territories as well as sovereign states; its code conventions are not a universal political classification.
