This is an interesting series that was published in 20 divisions. Each division contains some full topics/countries with only part of some topics/countries. I can only assume that this was to encourage buyers to purchase ALL 20 divisions to end up with the complete work. For you, this is an opportunity to buy 1 division including the contents as stated above and shown in the photos.  We do not have the full 20 division set for sale but we do have 15 of 20 at the beginning of these listings so please refer our other listings to see what is left.
