Resolved throughout 2024 based on the Carnegie Endowment Protest Tracker: https://carnegieendowment.org/publications/interactive/protest-tracker#
Resolves YES if there is a protest of >10,000 participants. NO if the country makes it to the end of 2024 with no protests that large.
Once resolved, countries can’t be re-added until the active protest is finished (too confusing otherwise). Repeat countries with active protests marked NA. Countries only. Non-countries resolved as NA.

@BlueDragon also Australia? It looks like there's a typo, it says peak size "1,0000" which could be a typo away from 1,000 or 10,000
