Comparing countries
Bill D. has alerted me to another useful site today called
NationMaster (
http://www.nationmaster.com/). The site uses data drawn from the
CIA World Factbook 2002 and you can use the data interactively to create comparisons on a range of criteria. The displays are not as attractive as those on the ill-fated
your-nation (
http://www.your-nation.com/) but your-nation is no longer being updated (their data is from 1998) so this will have to be the substitute. Anyone wanting the CIA World Factbook directly can see it at
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/.
