Map: Cape Verde in 1976, its borders in gold among its neighbours
Cape Verde in 1976, when it held the most ground the borders dataset draws for it: 9,500 km². Its neighbours wear their tints, as on the atlas's own map. Borders from Cliopatria (CC BY 4.0), coast and rivers from Natural Earth, cities from Reba, Reitsma & Seto 2016 (CC BY 4.0), each city under the name it bore that year.

5 rulers, 5 with terms dated as terms, covering 1975 – 2021. Only 46 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 4 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What happened within it, by century
