    Very interesting stats. Your website interface, design is also easy to use.

    A question for you. Did you built it, just for fun to compare EU vs the world or is there some insight that you are trying to share ?

    forget to add one stat. Europe is the place where both World War I and World War II started.

      Thanks! Both, really. I built it because I kept seeing the same claims repeated — "Europeans are overtaxed for nothing", "Europe has no more free speech", etc. — and I wanted to check them against actual data. Turns out the data overwhelmingly supports Europe on most quality-of-life, safety, and democratic metrics.

      The insight I'm trying to share: Europe is significantly stronger than the narrative suggests, especially the narrative that's been dominant in US-centric tech/media circles. Most people I talk to — including Europeans — are surprised by the numbers. I figured if the data is that compelling, it should be easy to access and hard to dismiss.
