region_total
Sum GDP or population, or calculate population-weighted GDP per capita, for a continent or region; choose year, scope, currency, and missing-data policy.
Instructions
Regional total for a continent: sum of GDP, sum of population, or population-weighted GDP per capita (sum GDP / sum population). All judgment calls are parameters:
scope: 'continent' = the geographic continent per the country-list source (default); 'wb_region' = the World Bank region(s) overlapping it — a DIFFERENT country set (e.g. Europe & Central Asia adds Central Asia and the Caucasus).
year: "2022" or "latest" (latest walks back per country and may mix years — flagged).
missing_policy (pinned years): 'exclude' = countries without that year's value are excluded and listed (default); 'walk_back' = use their most recent earlier value.
currency / fx_date: as in get_country_metric. The response lists every included country with its value and year, every exclusion with its reason, the FX rate used, and the assumptions applied.
