http://www.nationmaster.com The worlds largest online stats database (c) 2005, Rapid Intelligence. All rights reserved. http://www.nationmaster.com/index.php#105 We have plenty of interesting stats for you this time.

How many <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_tur_pop>Turks</a> are in different countries? Are they moving abroad because they're <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/lif_soc_sub_wel_peo_rep_neg_exp_bor-people-reporting-negative-experiences-boredom>twice as bored</a> as any other country? It seems it's not because they have too much <A href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/lif_lei_lei_tim_lei_tim_acr_dem_gro_tot-time-across-demographic-groups-total>leisure time</a>.

For something a little edgy, we tell you which countries tested with the <A href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_ave_iq-education-average-iq>highest IQ's</a>? Use this one with caution. What proportion of each population are <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/rel_chr_chr-religion-christian>christian</a>?

Our <a href=/cat/ene-energy>energy section</a> is now jam packed with stats on production and consumption of everything from <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/ene_jet_fue_exp_percap-jet-fuel-exports-per-capita>jet fuel</a> to <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/ene_ele_win_pro-energy-electricity-wind-production>wind</a>.

We also have <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/med_int_pen-media-internet-penetration>2010 internet usage</a> figures. Did you know Iceland has 97.6% penetration? What are the other 2.4% doing, that's what I want to know.

Or try to answer these ones without peeking:

Which countries have legal <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/lif_gay_mar_rec-lifestyle-gay-marriage-recognition>gay marriages</a>, <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rad_det_leg-crime-radar-detector-legality>radar detectors</a> and <a href=hea_syn_mar_jwh_leg_sta_dat_of_ban>synthetic marijuana</a>?

Which countries have the most <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_ove_wom-health-overweight-women>overweight women</a> in the Middle East?

Over to you. Tue, 12 Jul 2011 06:29:52 +0000 http://www.nationmaster.com/index.php#104 Announcing an exciting new feature.

You can now see stats for two countries compared side by side. See for example:

<ul><li> <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/compare/India/Pakistan>India vs Pakistan</a> and you learn that the Indians spend 31% more time in school and its economy is 9 times the size.
<li> <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/compare/China/United-States/Economy>Compare the American and Chinese economies</a> and you can see the US has 5 times the GDP per capita of China today, but was 13 times more in 1973.
<li> See that <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/compare/France/Germany>Germany and France</a> are quite similar except that Germany has double the <A href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/env_co2_emi-environment-co2-emissions>emissions</a> but France spent 77% more on the military.
<ul> Mon, 27 Jun 2011 07:58:06 +0000 http://www.nationmaster.com/index.php#103 We're on a freshness drive at NationMaster. No old stat is safe. We know you want to rely on us for the most recent stats on the net.

That's why we've updated our <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/cat/cri-crime>crime stats</a> based on a <a href=http://www.heuni.fi/Satellite?blobtable=MungoBlobs&blobcol=urldata&SSURIapptype=BlobServer&SSURIcontainer=Default&SSURIsession=false&blobkey=id&blobheadervalue1=inline;%20filename=Hakapaino_final_07042010.pdf&SSURIsscontext=Satellite%20Server&blobwhere=1266335656647&blobheadername1=Content-Disposition&ssbinary=true&blobheader=application/pdf>UN-affiliated 2011 report</a>, including data on <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rap-crime-rapes>rapes</a> and <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rob-crime-robberies>robberies</a>. We've also got figures for <A href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/ind_car_pro-industry-car-production>car production</a> for 2010.

We applaud the <a href=http://blogs.worldbank.org/endpovertyinsouthasia/world-banks-open-data-initiative>World Bank's open data initiative</a>, and we're currently working to import all that too, ensuring that the language is accessible as possible.
