World Seeds — every "by country" table, keyed by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2

Wikipedia has hundreds of "... by country" articles. The numbers live inside article tables, keyed by country names that differ from article to article. This dataset re-keys every such table to ISO2 so they join.

One CSV per source article under tables/. Columns: iso2, country, <original column names>. Values are kept exactly as printed (*_num twin columns hold the parsed number where one could be read). index.csv lists every table with its source article, revision id, row count and last change.

Built by an autonomous seeker: it lists the articles, reads the tables, matches the country column against a 1,000-name gazetteer (Wikidata labels + aliases), keeps tables with ≥40 matched countries, and re-reads an article whenever its revision id changes.
