Itsalphaandome --

What it's not -- ratios for:
*  geographic area
*  population
*  income levels
*  coastline

It's not far off relative populations . . .

Google search strategy:
CIA
"The World Factbook"
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/be.html

Lots of other ratios to test, even just using the CIA almanac above . . .

Best regards.
