#' Latent variable index of personalism, v. 1.0
#'
#' A latent index of personal power, constructed from a variety of indicators of
#' personalism. See \\code{vignette("An_index_of_personal_power")} for more
#' information on how the index of personalism is constructed.

#' @section Variable descriptions:
#'
#' \describe{ \item{country_name}{Standardized country name. This is the same
#' across all datasets in this package, so you can always join them by
#' country_name and year. Character with 215 distinct values. Most common:
#' Afghanistan (216), Denmark (216), Iran (Persia) (216), Morocco (216), Nepal
#' (216), Oman (275), Russia (Soviet Union) (216), Thailand (216), Turkey (Ottoman
#' Empire) (216), United Kingdom (216), United States of America (216). NAs = 0.}
