The layer menu spans population, wealth, work, health, language, law, history and climate, with individual measures ranging from GDP per person to the word for “mother.” Visible controls include map, bar-chart and correlation views, plus equal-area, Mercator and globe options. The page says its figures are AI-compiled from public sources and cautions readers to double-check them before relying on them for important decisions.
