As I understand actually you take the data from Wikipedia. There may be some of "poetic freedom" inside.
Is it not more convenient to use official EU data (or to verify with them). They are well maintained and contain some more data (e. g. the capital and the currency, currency subunit and currency code) and all 24 EU languages.

These look nice!
I've chosen Wikipedia at the time because I couldn't find a more reliable multi-lingual source. I also know - and notice it quite often - that the information is constantly changing based on the person who edits it but overall, I'd say that the information on Wikipedia is 99.8% accurate :)
I'll have a look at the sources you sent and see how I can use it.
Thanks a lot!
