ALBANIAN Statistics
Aggregates over the archive's dated rows, generated Sept. 26, 2026. Gender figures are
reported against the known denominator — Person.gender is filled for
current officeholders and left unknown for most historical
figures, so a percentage is always "of N known", never of the whole set.

FM turnover on record, per country
Depth is uneven — a country with few ministers listed usually means shallow backfill, not a stable ministry. Mean term counts completed tenures only.
