Most-Sanctioned Countries, Official Lists
Entries on the U.S. (OFAC), UK and EU sanctions lists linked to each country, latest, Palanor count
Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.
Palanor count of three official lists: U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists (public domain), the UK Sanctions List (FCDO, Open Government Licence v3.0) and the EU Financial Sanctions Files (European Commission, CC BY 4.0). An entry is one listed person, entity, vessel or aircraft; nothing is matched across lists, so a person on all three counts three times. An entry counts for a country when the list gives an address there, its nationality or citizenship, or names it under a programme for that country; one entry can count for several countries. Place of birth and ships' flags do not count. The countries shown are those with the most linked entries when the chart was made.
Which countries' people, companies, ships and aircraft fill the main Western sanctions lists, counted from the official U.S., UK and EU files rather than estimated.
