IN YOUR FACE!
Hans Rosling a genius extraordinnaire has created a program called Gapminder which compiles all the numbers from governmental and intergovernmental databases and then charts them in interactive charts! You can choose your x and y-axis (Eg. Per Capita Income (PPP) vs. Use of Contraceptives) thereby determining what you are indeed making statistically significant. Furthermore once your chart is produced the countries are plotted as colourful dots whose size is relative to the population...so China's dot is huge! So is India's! Lastly you can can see progress through time because this program gives you data all the way back from the 1950s...so you can choose a movie-like option which when viewed is comparable to watching an Aussie-rules footie game (read: tres exciting).
Cool, eh? Thought so.
