Ever wonder how countries rank by population per square mile or per capita
gross domestic profit? You probably didn't until you came across the CIA's
World Factbook.
After being hooked you want more. You want to know the per capita income per
square mile of arable land and dozens of other strange and proably
unrewarding rankings. That kind of thing is not in the book nor likely any
place else in the world. Again the CIA comes to the rescue.
The company has included tab delimited files of everything they do rank.
You can read these tables into any spreadsheet and add creating a multitude
of useless rankings to your list of time wasting things to do with
computers.
To get you started I have taken the liberty of putting them all into one spreadsheet. Right click and save.
Each page has one of the files.
The caveat is this is in OpenOffice format. You will need the free software
from OpenOffice.org. Since
everything is free there is no room for complaints.
