Wouldn't load on my MacBook Pro under in Chrome.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of video card is your MacBook running (integrated or discrete)?

No integrated graphics, NVidia 9400M / NVidia 9600M GT

Weird. Works great on my (moderately old) MacBook with Chrome.

Seems to work fine on my mid-2010 MBP in Chrome, running Snow Leopard.

Could do with a little more contrast on the globe, though...

I'm pretty sure you can get away with a lot more than you could have in past times when the people in power would have likely just had your head lopped off.

The GDP of Somalia is apparently so low it is NaN.

For some countries, the world bank is giving no data. That said, it should not display NaN but rather "No data". I will investigate.

I should have also added that it is a really cool page, aside from the one bug I pointed out.

The same is true for Taiwan. The website is really nicely designed.
