SafeImpressive4413:
Highest result: Luxembourg
Why: Luxembourg transformed from a steel dependent nation into a financial center with the highest GDP per Capita in the world.
Closest Result: Greece
Why: Greece was outperforming their results and was becoming a very relevant country in the EU until the 2009 crisis hit, from which the country has never fully recovered and has been losing population ever since.
Lowest result: Andorra
Why: Despite being a tax haven until a few years ago and becoming a hub for innovation attracting thousands of businesses from Spain and France, Andorra has no more terrain to build houses, to the point many Andorrans have been priced out of their country and have had to move to nearby towns in Spain and France. Andorra has a waiting list to migrate to the country in which you have to pay a non refundable 50.000€ fee to the country in order to migrate there and 1.000.000€ investment in the country if you want a passive residency (moving there but not working, example, someone retired.

For Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco and San Marino 1994 data is used as no 1990 prediction for 2025 exists and 2020 preditions are vage (such as 0,0 growth for andorra between 1990 and 2025)
For Germany, the data of the GDR and GFR medium variant from 1990 has been combined
Data from serbia is represented by 1994 Yugoslavia, which is composed of Serbia, Kosovo and Montenegro. Kosovo and Montenegro are included for data used in serbia for the other two graphs to not skew the result of serbia.
Kosovo is not included as no data consulted between 1990 and 2010 includes kosovo
Data for Montenegro is from the 2006 revision
For the 2025 graph Wikipedia is used as main source, using their UN prediction for 2025 when no data is available that is at least from December 1st 2024 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_population
