I just stumbled onto this world map of the Corruption Perceptions Index 2006. From the Transparency International website: "Transparency International commissioned Prof. Dr J. Graf Lambsdorff of the University of Passau to produce the CPI table. For information on data and methodology, please consult the frequently asked questions and the CPI methodology or www.icgg.org." From the site, less corruption perceived in Finland, Iceland, New Zealand, Denmark and Singapore, while at the other end of the spectrum, Haiti, Myanmar, Iraq, Guinea, Sudan and Congo.

Introducing the World Freedom Atlas
[+]
Zachary Forest Johnson writes "The World Freedom Atlas: freedom.indiemaps.com. The World Freedom Atlas is an interactive geovisualization tool for world statistics. It was designed for social scientists, journalists, NGO/IGO workers and others who wish to have a better understanding of issues of freedom, democracy, human rights and good governance. It includes over 300 variables from dozens of datasets (most data are from a compilation by the Quality of Governance Institute) and covers the years 1990 to 2006. It was programmed entirely in Flash 8/Actionscript 2 (with a bit of PHP to bring in data from a mySQL database). It is meant to complement other efforts such as GapMinder World and the World Bank Online Atlas of the Millennium Development Goals."
Industry: Myanmar Human Rights Watch Using Satellite Imagery
[+]
Ogle Earth discuss the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) use of satellite imagery to evaluate the human rights abuses in Myanmar (formerly Burma). From the AAAS news release: "Satellite image analysis then revealed physical evidence to corroborate reported instances of human rights violations at 25 of the 31 accurately mapped sites. Wherever possible, Bromley compared archival satellite images with newly acquired shots to examine sites before as well as after the reported military activity. In other cases, recent images revealed clear signs of destruction." Slashdot provides a discussion and complementary links on the same topic, in addition to an Internet blackout in Myanmar which is stalling citizen reporting. See also related stories below.
