What do the 3,038 tables actually cover?

Geography first: the United States plus roughly 55 other nations, filterable through the Nation field GetListOfTables returns - Canada, the UK, Japan, Australia, Germany and France sit alongside Latin American and Asian markets. Time second: historical tables reach back to the 1941 CSO and forward through current valuation bases and projection scales, so one repository layers eight decades of US actuarial history.

Granularity is per-age: single ages within each table's min/max range, with select-and-ultimate layouts adding duration dimensions on top. Sample data confirms the shape - TableIdentity 1, the 1941 CSO Basic Table ANB, carries q(x) from 0.00501 at age 1 through 0.01005 at age 50 to 1.0 at age 100, with TableIdentity 2 holding the companion 1941 CSO Experience Table.

Questions worth asking

What formats does the SOA MORT export support?

Four per table: XLS, XLSX, CSV and XML, with the XML following ACORD's XTbML standard. Individual exports run a few KB to hundreds of KB across the 3,038-table repository, so a full pull is measured in megabytes, not gigabytes.

Which countries do SOA mortality tables cover?

The United States plus roughly 55 other nations, filterable via the Nation field returned by GetListOfTables: Canada, the UK, Japan, Australia, Germany and France appear alongside Latin American and Asian markets, together with US-specific CSO/CET valuation bases.
