Statistics from Nationmaster

NationMaster is at http://www.nationmaster.com/ and they have a wide range of current statistical information on such topics as population, geography, crime, transportation, energy, lifestyle, religion.
A major feature of the website is that it allows users to generate graphs based on numerical data extracted from the a wide variety of sources including CIA World Factbook, UN, and OECD. And is excellent for comparing data between countries.
You can use the general search button with keywords or also take a look at the facts and statistics category subject choices. The first screens you get show bar graphs but using the MAP tab you can get visual world wide comparisons and can then zoom in to regions and countries.
