NationMaster

Statistics are boring, right? But if you can take them in at a glance, you can quickly get knowledge. NationMaster compares nations, like who has the biggest Army, per capita? (Nope: not the U.S. -- not even close; it's #32, behind even the U.K.) What country has the most people in prison? (Yep, the "Land of the Free" does, both in the total number and the number per capita). But it's not just stats: there are national flags, maps, educational info, and more. You're a citizen of the world; it's time to get to know your neighbors a bit better.
