The map above shows how many cities above a million people each country has. Is suspect it comes from this list on Wikipedia, but is now slightly out of date.
China GDP Per Capita By Decade From 1950 To 2020
The map above shows which countries remain richer per person than China in 2020 and which China has overtaken since 1950.
In 1950, China’s GDP per capita in inflation adjusted terms was just $799 per person, making it the 20th lowest in the world.
By 2020 this had risen to $17,226 per person, which still only places it 67th in the world. Here’s how that change looked like over 70 years:
The World Only Showing Countries Based On Share of Immigrants
The maps below build up the world based on the share of the population who are immigrants.

Does Your Country Have More Immigrants Or Emigrants?
The map above shows whether your country has more immigrants (people born abroad who live there now) or emigrants (people born in the country but now living in another one).
The data is for 2024 and comes from the United Nations International Migrant Stock report.
On the surface the map is what you’d expect, North America, Australia, Western Europe and the Gulf States have more immigrants than emigrants.
However, there some surprising things.
For example, North Korea has more immigrants than emigrants, while the much richer South Korea is the opposite. Although it should be noted that the South Korea’s absolute numbers of each are much larger than the North.
Also, Portugal is the lone exception in Western Europe to have more emigrants than immigrants.

The Wealthiest Person On Each Continent (Who Disclose Their Wealth)
The map above shows the wealthiest person on each continent, or at least those who disclose their wealth.
It’s a little crazy to me that the wealthiest person in Australia (population: 27 million; $1.88T GDP) is worth 3x more than the wealthiest person in Africa (1.5 billion; $2.82T GDP).
Here’s a list I compiled awhile ago of the top 200 billionaires in the world from the Forbes World Billionaires List for 2024. (note as share prices move so do net worth numbers, which is why they differ from the above)
Korean Diaspora & Immigrants By Country
The map above shows the number of Korean immigrants and/or people having Korean ancestry by country around the world.
Interestingly, there are more Koreans living in the United States than there are in either neighbouring China or Korea’s previous colonial ruler Japan.
As of 2023 there were an estimated 7,081,510 Koreans living abroad compared to 26.3 million living in North Korea and 51.4 million living in South Korea.
Here are the full stats by country (differs slight from the map above):
The Technate of America: A Plan To Replace Partisan Politicians & Business People With Scientists & Engineers
This was basically a plan to run all of North America and some of South American by scientists and engineers rather than partisan politicians and business people.
Interestingly Joshua N. Haldeman, Elon Musk’s maternal grandfather, was a supporter of the plan between 1936 to 1941.
Here’s summary of Technocracy movement itself.
