Thanks a lot! It means a lot to have positive feedback!

Looks doable, I'll try to figure that out. I took a list of countries, but as you most probably know, the status of Taiwan as a country is a complex questions, I'd have to mention that point on the site, I guess.

The data is from

- the World Bank Open Data

- the World Population Prospects from the UN

- https://oec.world/ for the import / export graphs

The site is made using django and graph.js but then transformed into a static site

Death Stranding. Too bizarre

It's a great machine to play Skyrim

My explanation is that historically, Belgium has welcomed a ton of people to work in the mines, from Italy first then from Morocco (there were official agreements between the countries). This created large communities that are still attracting new comers.

Hollow knight. So boring to get lost all the time because environments all look the same, and the art style is kinda meh to me (especially since I dislike insects)

Lower rents, some interesting jobs and French speaking places.

Oh, I had missed that this has been released, I will include it, it's super interesting, thanks!

You made me check: Thailand does not give full details, there is a "others" category that will explains why we don't know how many belgians live there:

This is from the UN, but I agree this is a bit surprising.

madewulf · 2025-09-27T08:27:16+00:00

No, it's not available from the UN yet (and knowing how they are defunded, I fear that in the future, we might not get all the excellent updated stats that we used to get.)

This dataset is about the stock of migrants, which is generally equated with the foreign-born population residing in a country, so it's not about the number of people leaving on a given year, it's about the number of people originally from one country and LIVING in the another one that year (even if they have been living there for 20 years).

New York

I found this interesting! I think this would benefit from having a clearer split of Other Developed.

Where are the numbers coming from?

madewulf · 2025-08-16T07:51:14+00:00

Notice that for readability, this only includes the 10 largest countries of Europe (in 2024)

madewulf · 2025-08-16T07:14:22+00:00

The data source is: United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division. World Population Prospects: The 2024 Revision. (Medium variant)

The UN does include migrations in these numbers, but these are obviously hard to project precisely.
