Just because people don't like the results does not make them untrue. Many don't understand that perception isn't always reality and what you may think you know of a country doesn't mean that is the be all end all. I think this website does a good job, may not be perfect but informative nonetheless.

I find the statistics on this web site very unreliable. How can Finland be in the list of assaults per capita and Brazil not? How can education in Brazil be better than in Russia?

Examples are numerous. Please pay more attention to numbers you publish.

In your countries index under Afghanistan, in one of the articles it named Robert Gates as Secretary of State. I think the author meant Secretary of Defense.
