Choose two countries. The table shows them side by side and tells you how many times bigger one is.
Reading the comparison
Population and area show size. A country can be large in one and small in the other: Australia is the sixth largest by area but has fewer people than many small countries.
People per km² shows how crowded the land is on average.
GDP per person is a rough guide to average income. It says nothing about prices or how money is shared.
Life expectancy is the number of years a baby born today would live if conditions stayed the same.
Figures come from the World Bank and GeoNames, collected on 11 November 2026. Open either country for the year of each figure.

Ideas for comparisons
Your country and one in the news, to get a feel for its size.
Two neighbours that share a history but took different paths.
A giant and a small state, to see how misleading a map can be about people and wealth.
For a school project: copy the result with the button and paste it into your notes, then add the year of each figure from the country pages.
A caution about averages
Every figure here is for a whole country. A large country contains crowded cities and empty deserts, rich districts and poor ones, and the average hides them all. Use the comparison as a first look, not as the last word.
