United Kingdom: birth odds and 20 country-data indicators
Read 20 World Bank WDI reference indicators for United Kingdom, each with its year, unit and source. Game birthplace weights are separate, and averages do not determine an individual life.
简体中文How to read this page
The United Kingdom appears as one country unit in this dataset, which does not reveal every region or household. Observation years may differ. Placing the measures together makes them easier to read, not a simultaneous portrait of every resident.
An identity card, current home and later move each answer a different question. A move leaves the birthplace intact, and a name is not evidence of nationality. Check the record before discussing why a decision might be worth revisiting.

20 public reference indicators
Each indicator uses its latest non-empty observation within 2015–2024, so years differ. Some original providers use modeled estimates. Missing values are shown as — and are not imputed.

Bring the reference back to a fictional life
These 20 measures are verifiable environmental references, not a checklist of events a character must experience. They are not all fed directly into the current game engine. One fictional life cannot represent a country, and averages do not determine a person’s lifespan, career or happiness.
The play link draws a random origin using your selected sampling method; it does not guarantee this country. Read different references, then try a random beginning. To revisit a particular decision, branch from a saved choice.
