ATLAS · THE WORLD, BY THE NUMBERS
The World by the Numbers
The Earth map shows what is happening. The Atlas shows how the world is — one interactive map of every country, recoloured by the metric you pick, over a clean political base. According to the World Bank, 8.14 billion people share the planet in 2024; this is the map that shows where — and how the wealth, health and land are shared out beside them.

Fusion views — two layers, one map
The Earth map layers live data — fires over wind. The Atlas does it with the world’s numbers: one metric as colour, a second as bubbles, so a global relationship reads at a glance. Each view answers one question with real, sourced figures.
Compare — watch geography become data
Pick two metrics and watch every country lift off the world map and fly to its place on a scatter plot — then blend the two into a single bivariate map. The clearest way ever built to feel a global correlation, not just read one. Real, sourced figures, shown as motion.

Where in the Worldturns the Atlas into a daily puzzle: one mystery country, six guesses, each one telling you how far off you are and unlocking a new sourced clue. The same country for everyone, a fresh one every day — come back tomorrow.

Beyond the country choropleths: the actual things on the map — the ones humans built and the ones the planet did. Not countries shaded by a number, but the points themselves — where you can fly from, the places the world calls irreplaceable, where you can charge, and where Earth is volcanically alive — each plotted from open data and coloured to mean something.
Every country, profiled
217 countries and territories, each with its figures, its world rank, and the live view from every canvas — the encyclopedic spine that ties LiveEarthViewer together by place. Start with the most populous:
