 Subject:  Hundreds of International Comparative Metrics







Here is a site with the top 100 countries tabulated in many metrics.
Alas, they include all sorts of tiny "countries" that make the US look
even worse.  But it is fun to look at data such as adult smoking rates and
find the US near the bottom, sort of like in health.  STephen

What country watches the most TV?

Would you believe in terms of television sets per capita, the United States
is no higher than fourth in the world? The U.S. is behind Monaco, Bermuda,
and Christmas Island. Or you're writing about longevity and wonder where in
the world people live the longest. (The answer is Andorra, averaging 83.4
years, followed by Macau, San Marino, and Japan. The United States,
incidentally, is 42nd on the list of nations, at 77.4 years.) Such
statistical snapshots can enliven many kinds of stories and a new Web site
called Nation Master makes it quick and easy to dig up the data. To check it
out, visit http://www.nationmaster.com, where a nicely organized
introductory page provides a navigation bar along the left column with quick
links to its top graphics.
