Methodology & Data Sources
Population figures are based on official national census data and regional statistical databases (ISTAT for Italy, INE for Spain, ONS for Algeria, and INS for Tunisia).
For regional entities like AICCRE Sicilia, the figure accounts for the aggregated population of participating municipal members to reflect the macro-level policy reach of the Coalition.
