Quirks

The paid ILZSG Statistical Database, monthly bulletin and plant directories are NOT used; only the free factbook chart is. This is refined-metal USAGE (ILZSG basis), distinct from the co-resident USGS apparent-consumption rows; the two must never be summed.
The factbook chart orders Turkiye (266 kt) before Italy (267 kt) despite the lower value; the vendored rows are value-ranked, values verified against the rendered p.31 chart.
