How this works

It's a data instrument, not a poll. Figures here come from World Bank Open Data (population, GDP, urbanization, age structure, life expectancy), plus Our World in Data (V-Dem democracy, happiness) and UNDP (HDI) where noted in the rankings. Same backbone as the World Simulate globe. Country-level synthetic opinion is separate — richer per-country attitude data is still the next phase.
