nationmaster


A massive central data source and a handy way to graphically compare nations. NationMaster is a vast compilation of data from such sources as the CIA World Factbook, UN, and OECD. Using the form above, you can generate maps and graphs on all kinds of statistics with ease.

Loverly... It's seems like its a pretty decent stat site. The really cool bit though is you can get a firefox search plugin to search anything on the site. Right from you little browser there.

great easy to use site. although I must warn you that the CIA world factbook (the primary data source) has been known to get their figures terribly wrong quite often (sometimes, I suspect, on purpose). I have been told by professors to never use them as a primary source in any kind of research. THEY'RE THE GODDAMN CIA!!!!!!! Iraq? Hello?
