Field notes
The opening draw can use annual births or population as its weighting, and the page links to calculations for 237 countries and territories. Choices lead into fictional stories, with browser-local saving, replay from a decision point, and a parallel-life comparison. The site explicitly says its statistics do not set country-specific difficulty and that comparisons do not predict real futures.
