There is a bug in the time series charts. Data needs to be normalized prior to charting. For example: https://cia-factbook-archive.fly.dev/archive/field/IN/Broadb...

Found the problem, the total regex doesn't handle magnitude suffixes:

2018: total: 17,856,024 → parses as 17856024 (correct raw count) 2020: total: 18.17 million → parses as 18.17 (WRONG - drops "million") 2025: total: 39.3 million → parses as 39.3 (WRONG) So the chart jumps from ~18 million down to ~18, making it wrong. The fix is to handle "million/billion/trillion" after total.

Just deployed a new bug fix.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
