The site lets you do interactive country comparisons on a pretty wide range of data.</em></div> <div>-- Davos Newbies</div> <div> </div> <div><em>Nationmaster.com is a useful site to bookmark. It provides an interface to graphically compare nations. Using a form, you can compare different countries on set parameters like crime, economy, education, health, media etc. What's more you choose, only the countries you want to compare can be included. So for example, the site tells me that the education literacy rates for India and Pakistan are 52 and 42.7 per cent respectively. A great tool for journalists, researchers and academics who constantly need this kind of data. There are also other useful sections like flags and maps of the world.</em></div> <div>-- <a href="http://rediff.com/netguide/2003/may/31pick.htm">rediff.com</a></div> <div> </div> <div><em>Create your own questions, and use the pull-down menus to generate comparisons.
