What is in it

Development indicators by country and year from World Bank Open Data (World Development Indicators by default; about 1,500 series): GDP, population, health, education, poverty, trade, energy, environment, 1960 to the latest year, about 217 economies and regional aggregates. Search with `indicators`, load with `series`. CC BY 4.0; each load records every indicator's licence from its metadata.

In e2er's words, from the source's definition.
