Maybe I misunderstand what is said on page 16, but to me it seems like foreign nationals like Polish people are included in other countries data. So the data is bound to geographical areas not nationalities, while the interactive map shows today's geographical boundaries, which don't included said geographical areas and nationalities anymore, making the data skewed. How was the data gathered? Depending on what you asked a Hungarian from 1850, you might have gotten 3 different countries. Where are you from? Austria. What nationality are you? Hungarian. What state are you from? Germany.

Likewise, you could ask from three persons who came from the same place at different times: Where are you from? 1853: Lemberg in the Habsburg Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, the first city in Europe with street lights! I'm Galician. 1923: Lwow in Poland, the city that bravely defended against the Red Army! I'm Polish. 1953: Lviv of USSR! I am a Soviet citizen. 1993: Lviv of Ukraine! I am Ukrainian. And this doesn't include some shorter term changes such as Distrikt Galizien in 1943.
