We have plenty of interesting stats for you this time. How many Turks are in different countries? Are they moving abroad because they're twice as bored as any other country? It seems it's not because they have too much leisure time. For something a little edgy, we tell you which countries tested with the highest IQ's? Use this one with caution. What proportion of each population are christian? Our energy section is now jam packed with stats on production and consumption of everything from jet fuel to wind. We also have 2010 internet usage 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 gay marriages, radar detectors and synthetic marijuana? Which countries have the most overweight women in the Middle East? Over to you.

Announcing an exciting new feature. You can now see stats for two countries compared side by side. See for example: India vs Pakistan and you learn that the Indians spend 31% more time in school and its economy is 9 times the size. Compare the American and Chinese economies and you can see the US has 5 times the GDP per capita of China today, but was 13 times more in 1973. See that Germany and France are quite similar except that Germany has double the emissions but France spent 77% more on the military.

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 crime stats based on a UN-affiliated 2011 report, including data on rapes and robberies. We've also got figures for car production for 2010. We applaud the World Bank's open data initiative, and we're currently working to import all that too, ensuring that the language is accessible as possible. Videos: I just did a search on YouTube and found these reviews. It's great to see the site represented in a visual form. Check this NationMaster overview in English and this review of NationMaster in Spanish.
