Estimates for this country explicitly take into account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and growth rates, and changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected.

² The GDP estimate is as of 2006; the total and per capita ranks, however, are based on 2005 numbers.
