Admin: Add By birth country directory

Add By birth country directory

New page

'''By birth country''' lets you browse soldier pages by roster '''nativity''' — the country of birth recorded on the Classes 1–31 roster / enlistment merge. Open a country to see everyone tagged with that value.

These figures are '''leads from imported fields''', not a finished demographic study. Codes can be wrong, incomplete, or still abbreviated; some men have no nativity set. For the refugee story in prose form, see [[Refugees who enlisted]]. Full caveats: [[About the data]].

== Major birth countries ==
Counts are live page totals in each category (a soldier can appear in only one nativity category).
