Quite so, any information that can not be referenced can be challenged and deleted in the usual way - without attracting much attention, and entirely within the accepted procedures of Wikipedia.

All complaints about this project will be respected. I completely
understand why a certain country or locality would object to data being
included and this project.

Keep in mind that all pieces of data used in the project must be available
to the public. I do not understand why there would be an objection when
data used is freely available.

The current Wikipedia 'Economy of the ________" pages already feature lots
of world economic data. This project organizes that data in a legal way.

The whole point of this project is to provide a public good. I do not want
to offend anyone or do anybody harm. I believe that this project would help
educated people about the world economy.

Or maybe just a test to see how hard it could be to do. Who know. ;)
