* GDP data for the former USSR is unreliable due to
unstable US$/ruble exchange rate. These figures
are for 1990, based on 317 rubles per US$.

** Czechoslovakia broke into two republics in 1993,
but Internet hosts continue to use the domain CS.

*** The Soviet Union ceased to exist as a country in 1991,
though Internet hosts continue to use the domain SU.
