How to read these figures
The country shown is the country of birth printed in the decree, not the original nationality: decrees do not publish nationality.
People born in France appear in these decrees too: the Journal Officiel then prints a postal code, which AlertJO counts as “France”.
These figures count people published, not applications filed, and measure no processing time.
They are not official statistics: they are recomputed with every issue AlertJO analyses.
