World
Explore countries, geographic layers and statistics on a world map or a 3D globe.
About this tool
Select a country in the menu or click the globe. Drag to rotate; Ctrl/Meta + wheel zooms, while a normal wheel scrolls the page. Reset view restores the initial orientation. The selected country is outlined; the menu also works without pointing at the globe.
Population, density, growth, urban population, life expectancy, fertility, infant mortality, GDP and GDP per capita use bundled World Bank WDI observations for 2023 (CC BY 4.0). GDP is in current US dollars, not purchasing-power-adjusted. Missing values are grey or blank; density and GDP per capita are published indicators, not ratios calculated from this simplified map. Mapped area is approximate.
Expand geographic layers as needed. Colour scales clip the lowest/highest 2 percent; logarithmic scales use positive values only. The topographic texture and Natural Earth boundaries are an overview, not current navigation or legal boundary data. The 2D map remains available when WebGL is unavailable. Country selection and layers are retained when switching views.
