  1. *Countdown Country. Eight out of the 75 countdown5 countries are not included in this list and analysis because these countries had missing data for GDP per capita: Afghanistan, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Korea DPR, Myanmar, Sao Tome & Principe, Somalia, South Sudan. Two others were excluded because there were zero nationally reported figures from 1990–2011: Angola, Equatorial Guinea **Note that these high income countries were not classified as high income in 2000, which was the cut-off point for this analysis. The list is based on the income in 2013.
  2. † `On track’ indicates that absolute maternal mortality ratio by 2010 has reduced to 60%.7
