  note: estimate based on a revision of the base population,
  fertility, and mortality numbers, as well as a revision of 1985-1999
  migration estimates from outmigration to inmigration, which is
  assumed to continue into the future; the new results are consistent
  with the 2000 census (July 2008 est.)

  307,451
  note: estimates for this country explicitly take into account the
  effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower
  life expectancy, higher infant mortality, higher death rates, lower
  population growth rates, and changes in the distribution of
  population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected (July
  2008 est.)

  underenumeration of 4.6% for the 1991 census; estimates for this
  country explicitly take into account the effects of excess mortality
  due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy, higher infant
  mortality, higher death rates, lower population growth rates, and
  changes in the distribution of population by age and sex than would
  otherwise be expected (July 2008 est.)
