Many Data on State and State-Like Actors in the International System R package manystates version 1.0.3 Comprehensively identifying states and state-like actors is difficult. This package provides data on states and state-like entities in the international system across time. The package combines and cross-references several existing datasets consistent with the aims and functions of the manydata package. It also includes functions for identifying state references in text, and for generating fictional state names.
