During our global journey we published a “By the Numbers” summary of the countries we visited on each continent. We tracked some statistics and fun measures and provided a more detailed look at each of the 53 countries we visited, including:
- Population (and world rank)
- Area (and world rank)
- Life Expectancy at Birth in Years (and world rank)
- GDP Per Capita – PPP (and world rank)
- Median Age in Years
- Literacy Rate percentage
- Big Mac Index (to learn more about this measure, click here)
