<p>** these 2017 data are exactly the same as reported on the 2016 profile, and more at variance with nostalgic’s data above (although the official profile has an additional international category relative to nostalgic’s list which may explain the variance); hence the profile as published <em>may</em> be wrong, so be watchful for a revised 2017 profile.</p>
