CountryComparator is a tool for helping you visualize data from countries and compare it to other countries!

It's pretty straightforward, just follow the guidelines of the menu after it starts.

You can select the type of data you wish to compare and then you have 3 options:

1. Select a few countries to compare their data;
2. Select one country and compare it's data with the data of a random country;
3. Compare the data of two randomly selected countries.

The data comes from the CIA Factbook. It is a great reference on the history, people and society, government, economy, energy, geography, communications, transportation, military, and transnational issues for 267 world entities. I handpicked a few of these data for this project and I'm planning on adding many more! For now, we can compare:

• Population;
• Area;
• GDP per capita;
• Birthrate per thousand population;
• Deathrate per thousand population.

If you have a suggestion, let me know!

The CIA Factbook is a massive source of data. In order to parse through it and use it as a .csv file I had to use data that's very outdated (it's from 2006!). However, I'm already planning on updating the database with a few more topics to compare the data from countries and, as I add them, I'll start updating the previous data on the database.

I started this project to learn how to analyze large amounts of data and to plot graphs about such data on Python. I used the Pandas library to analyze the data and the Matplotlib to plot the data. Overall it was a great learning experience.
