That is, for one country it can be 1990, for another 1992, for a third 1995. As the actual year is not important (and not always defined), one tries to use this kind of common describer: various.

When you don't have the year, put them in another table: they're not the type of data as the rest. If you do, include the year just like normal and modify the query so it's not joining on the year. If you need to include both with years and without, write your query appropriately to include rows from both tables.
