Nice! One of my favourite facts about Korea is that in the last century, the average height of South Korean women has increased by 8 inches, a result of the growing prosperity.

South Korea essentially had zero GDP after the Korean War. It was and still is one of the most amazing economic turn arounds the world has ever seen.

I am liking how this map included the tiny island of Nauru. Which had the highest per capita GDP in the world in 1970 (at $50 000, before inflation).
