Twin towns and sister cities
How many town-twinning links exist between places in A and places in B?
- How to read a cell
- How many town-twinning (sister-city) links exist between towns in A and towns in B. Links marked as ended are left out. 'None recorded' means none is listed in the source, which may be incomplete — and the source is slow to drop links that were broken off, as many with Russian towns were in 2022. Russia–Ukraine shows 0: those links were broken off after 2022. “No data” means the source has no figure for that pair — the note in the cell says why; “not applicable” means the question does not arise for that pair.
- Reliability
- low-to-medium — Wikidata P190 read as full statements: links with an end date or deprecated rank on either town's side are excluded (their number is shown on hover); Dutch and Danish towns are folded into NL/DK; Wikidata is crowd-sourced — strong for Europe, Japan and the Americas, thin elsewhere — and slow to record terminations (many links with Russian towns broken off in 2022 are still listed); Russia–Ukraine is set to 0 — twinnings broken off after February 2022 (CountryPair edit, source in the cell); 'none recorded' is not 'none exists'

The table
Rows are country A, columns country B; the two-letter codes are the usual country codes (AM = Armenia, DE = Germany…). Hover a cell to see the full value and its note. A dash means “no” or “nothing recorded”; a striped cell means either “no data” (the source has no figure for this pair — the note says why) or “not applicable” (the question makes no sense for this pair, for example a sea route for two landlocked countries). “All regions” on both sides shows the whole table.
