Found this super data world mapper site, which shows you the world maps according to different subject matter, so for example:

World Poverty:


Territory size shows the proportion of all people living on less than or equal to US$2 in purchasing power parity a day.
Absolute poverty is defined as living on the equivalent of US$2 a day or less.

World population:


World carbon emissions:



The world fuel consumption (this includes gas, coal, oil, nuclear, wood, and other materials):


Makes you think. You can enter any data subject and it could show you a world map in relation: www.worldmapper.org
