Rulers
The line of President of the Ivory Coast - the office this state names as its head of state.

5 rulers, 5 with terms dated as terms, covering 1960 – 2011. Median reign 8.5 years. 3 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
Every row the atlas hosts under this state, by the century it began in: wars and battles in red, risings, regime changes and massacres beside them, everything else in grey. A tall bar is a century the record is full for, which is partly a fact about Wikipedia.
