http://www.ifitweremyhome.com/

This site is fascinating because it compares the size of foreign countries to your home.  It further gives statistics that compares your home country to a country of your choosing.  For example, it will show how much more/less oil is consumed, or life expectancy, just to name a few.

It further compares the scale of recent disasters (BP oil spill and the Pakistan Flood) to your home state/region.  


This website provides graphs to visualize data by nation, for example, CO2 emissions by country or coal consumption by country (plenty of other data, too).  You can further visualize these data and how it changes through time.
