Add continual country code to referendum data

Augments data with an additional column country_code_continual holding the current or future ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country where the referendum took place. If the country still exists, country_code_continual is identical to country_code, otherwise it is the country_code of the successor country. If the country was succeeded by multiple countries, the code of the largest one in terms of population is taken.

Usage

add_country_code_continual(data)

Arguments

data

RDB referendum data as returned by rfrnds(). A data frame that at minimum contains the column country_code (with ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-3 alpha-4 codes).

Value

A tibble.
