United Nations Data Are Now Online

The United Nations creates a few days ago an online service with all the statistical databases of the organisation. I think that this is a valuable tool for every research, project, study etc.
Over the past 60 years UN has collected valuable information for every country and now every one of us has the chance, via the provided search engine, to gain access.
At this moment the UN Data (as it is called) has over 55,000,000 entries. I made a test search for “Greece” and it gave me 748 entries! One of them was about the number of mobile phone users. In 1993 there were 48,000 users, in 1998 2,047,000 and in 2004 11,044,232! This is quite a number considering that Greece’s population is 10,706,290 (July 2007 est.)

IQ and the Wealth of Nations

Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen have studies the behavior and intelligence of people from 81 countries, (though statistical data, sampling, studies etc) and they have created a list with the average IQ from each nation.
The study is titled “IQ and the Wealth of Nations” was firstly circulated in 2002 but a new edition came to light with many updates and loads of criticism.
Check the list to find where your country stands compared to all the others.
