A small, lazy-loaded, one-row-per-country snapshot of a curated indicator set for one recent year. It lets every example, test and vignette run offline and deterministically, without the World Bank API.

Usage

world_snapshot

Format

A list with three elements:

countries

A tibble, one row per country, with iso3c, iso2c, country, classifications and curated indicators (gdp_per_capita, population, life_expectancy, co2_per_capita).

sf

NULL in the released package – geometry is not bundled twice. Attach it on demand with attach_geometry(): attach_geometry(world_snapshot$countries, geometry = "sf") pulls the same Natural Earth 110m polygons from rnaturalearth.

year

The reference year.

country carries the World Bank's own names, which differ from the countrycode names used by country_meta for 38 countries.

Source

World Bank via WDI; geometry from Natural Earth via rnaturalearth. Snapshot year: 2024.
