Work Equality in North Corea
Comparing North Corea with South Corea I noticed that while North Corea has very low levels for education and living standards, the work equality seems to be even higher than in South Corea.
How can be a country with so low life standards be so high in work equality?
The explanation of this finding lies in North Corea's society structure. When North Korea was established, it began applying Marxist-Leninist principles of sex equality. North Korea believed they could obtain sexual equality through economic liberation and women's participation in economic production. In practice, North Korea remains a patriarchal, sexist society [wiki@after division of korea]. That's the reason why the statistic about work equality is so high.

Nuclear Power in France
CO2 Emission of France drastically reduced between 1980 and 1990. The reason is in France nuclear policy.
The Messmer plan envisaged the construction of around 80 nuclear plants by 1985 and now nuclear power is the primary source of electric power in France [wiki@Messmer Plan]. This finding enlightens another critique that can be done at this tool, that is not allowing the user to choose the measure they want to compare countries.

Spain Population Growth
During the early 2000s, the mean year-on-year demographic growth set a new record with its 2003 peak variation of 2.1%, doubling the previous record reached back in the 1960s when a mean year-on-year growth of 1% was experienced. This trend is far from being reversed at the present moment and, in 2005 alone, the immigrant population of Spain increased by 700,000 people.
The growing population of immigrants is the main reason for the slight increase in Spain's fertility rate. From 2002 through 2008 the Spanish population grew by 8%, of which 6% were foreign. [wiki]
