Just discovered your site and was enjoying it, but then the popup kept asking me the same question repeatedly, even though I'd answered it previously. Too annoying to return. What a shame..

It's true Serbia and Montenegro should be split into two separate countries. Kosovo should be there as well. It's alright to have Yugoslavia and USSR as its useful for historians looking at comparative data across time.

The side by side comparison is a very interesting feature, but extremely user unfriendly. (By the way I would like it to compare not just 2, but at least up to 5, preferably 10 countries ;-)
It should just ask to fill in the 2 (or 5 or 10) countries, and then wait till you click a 'go' button.
In it's current form it is basically unworkable: I could (with difficulty) compare Belgian with France regarding Health, but when I then tried to instead compare France vs. Spain it didn't work out. Every time I selected one country at the bottom, the application immediately started to recalculate Belgium vs. that country, instead of waiting till I had selected the second country. I tried entering the country names in the left as well as in the right column, but it just doesn't work!

Yugoslavia isn't a country anymore. It's been divided in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia & Hercegovina and Macedonia. Seriously, I've been to both Montenegro and Croatia so I know. Also, why are there states like Montserrat, Jersey and Puerto Rico.

Vladan is right: split 'Serbia & Montenegro' into 'Serbia' and 'Montenegro'. Also, why oh why is the Soviet Union here??!!

Mexico is not technically an independent nation. It depends on the United States to shelter its criminals and refugees. It also depends on the United States to provide benefits for its many runaways who go to the States in order to avoid work in Mexico. I am Mexican, and I am very ashamed of what the drug cartels have done to our nation. If our people were not cowards, we would stand up to these thugs who represent a small minority of our population. Our real problem is that we are lazy and have no pride.

Right now, I am making a research regarding Haiti on a comparison basis in regard to other countries. The site NATION MASTER helps me out incredibly.

If the total world debt in 2001 was $364.5 billion, (your figures?) if I have them right and the USA debt at the time was around 8 trillion, ..... Can it be true that the single nation's (USA) debt was nearly 22 times greater than that of the WHOLE WORLD ?

There are so many things going on in the world today causing too many people fear. Global economic crises, terrorism, you fill in the blank but don't let that be your experience. Life is beautiful and a magnificent adventure, enjoy it.

No matter what’s going on in the world around you, the question I'd ask you to consider is what you really want for your life. Maybe to this point you've created a life that is wonderful and worthy of you and maybe you haven't. If it's not worthy of you, then when would now be the time to change it because you have the will power to do that.

For information to enjoy life, go to www.embracingchange.co.ke

Pass it on.

While the United States of America does have several trillion dollars of debts and/or trade deficits, that does not mean we aren't a rich country. In terms of annual GDP we still take the cake, although China may claim that title in a decade or so. Whether or not our real GDP has anything to do with government spending is debateable, although our trade agreements certainly do. Besides that, the West Bank in Palestine is the largest region of the not-as-yet sovreign Palestinian state and is ruled over by a separate authority than in Gaza, making it arguable to include them as separate states at this time.

22nd June 2006 I am a Pakistani. I proud to be a Pakistani. Pakistan is only country in which war is not fight by bodies but only with emotions of our people living in pakistan.

really?
i dont think that this statement is even close to being true. Pakistan fights with its neighbors all the time. and im pretty sure that bodies are the key. so you may went to get off that cloud before a scud hits it.
Michael (NYC)

First of all, the USA is not rich. That is an illusion. In actuality it is trillions of dollars in debt.

Note to the editor:
The west bank is not a country. It is a location on the west bank of the Jordan river. It is HISTORICALLY known as Judea (southern area) and Samaria (northern area).

I saw above that you recognize Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan as nations, as a CHINESE, I strongly recommand you to correct this serious mistake. As everyone knows, the sovereignty of Hongkong and Macau had been returned to China by British and Portugal in the year of 1997 and 1999 respectively. Taiwan is a sensitive issue in China as well as all around the world, thus I strongly recommand you not to define Taiwan as a nation as it isn't being defined in the United Nations. Thank you!

This is really an outstanding website which covers al most all the fields/catogries of the country/nation.

...Then Turkish are responsible for the killing and raping of all those Cypriot people back in 1974 resulting to the present Occupation of half of Cyprus since 1974...
Turkey is responsible for the situtation in my country..you took the freedom from us...and you are not doing anything about it, the contrary...
What is Turkey doing about that?

In your alphabetical list of countries of the world, you jump from Saudi Arabia to Senegal with no mention of Scotland. I live in Scotland and I can assure you the country still exists! Any chance of rectifying this ommission?

I am looking for a report or publication that ranks The U.S. in relation to the rest of the world according to various categories. For instance, literacy in the world, murders commited per year, poverty levels, etc. Those may not be the best examples of categories, but hopefully you understand what I am seeking. Does such a report even exist? If not, it certainly should. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated - I need these stats for an important paper I'm working on for school. Thank you.

Since state "Union of Serbia and Montenegro" doesn't exist it would be good for you to update your site with the most recent date for two new states Serbi and Montenegro.
