From the makers of
NationMaster comes a new project aimed at harnessing the wealth of content of wikis.
It's called the
The Full Wiki. Its goal is to become a platform for an enriched user experience for wikis using open licenses.
We have seen many fantastic projects come and go under the weight of traffic spikes, large datasets and the need to stay fresh. We want to provide serious hosting resources to make these projects feasible.
If you have a wiki oriented project you'd like us to host or provide other help, check out
The Full Wiki.

Ted on Encyclopedia > Polytetrafluoroethylene (19 hours 27 minutes 51 seconds ago)

Is PTFE Water Proof/Breathable membrane made from the same chemical composition as above Polytetrafluoroethylene? |

D. on Crime > Murders (per capita) (21 hours 30 minutes 48 seconds ago)
|
This list looks weird. I checked my country's data and in 2008 in Poland there were 759 murders per 38 million people. That's around 0,02 per 1000 (0,01971 if you consider an exact number of people). |

We've been working away for the past month and are pleased to announce a raft of new little features:
- Refined moderation of user comments. Your valued contributions will appear on the site quicker.
- Top rankings pages now show the top 5 most popular stats for each variable, rather than the top 1.
- We've put a search box at the bottom of each page, so it's convenient to find new things out of our vast collection.
- The encyclopedia home page has been cleaned up, showing categories and themes.
- Best of all: you can now sort by amount and alphabetical order on graph pages with instant feedback. No need to wait for the page to reload
We hope these modifications improve your experience. Feel free to
drop us a line with any thoughts of your own.
We have just
updated our CIA World Factbook stats, making use of the December 18 version.
But at NationMaster, we don't just use the latest Factbook, but all the other ones going back to 2003. So you can compare time series information with ease, for example, graph the growth of the
Chinese internet users.
Today I'm pleased announce a
sizable update!
This time it's a mix of updates and entirely new stats. We now have
population figures updated for 2008.
We have a raft of updated media stats: we have
radios,
TV's,
newspapers. Did you know that Chinese newspapers have a
circulation of 76 million? Or that Amenia has a
cinema seat for every 20 people?
And new to NationMaster, books broken down by genre. See who's producing the most titles in areas such as
religion,
literature,
arts and
science.
Our tourism stats are getting comprehensive too. We can now tell you the destinations favoured by
Africans,
Southern Asians or
Europeans.
Keep checking back. We have a lot more in the works over the next month.
Due to ongoing growth, we are now
hiring for full time web developers. If you'd like to work on
NationMaster and other free research sites, we would love to hear from you.
