  1. For each network, we report its number of nodes (N), of edges (E), the edges’ density (ρ), the average values of the degree (\(\left\langle k\right\rangle\)), clustering coefficient (\(\left\langle C\right\rangle\)), and path length (\(\left\langle l\right\rangle\)), the number of connected components (Ncc), the size of the giant component (S), and of nodes with self-loops (Nsl). Networks denoted with in their name correspond to those without France and Switzerland.
