Every country, one chart per question
Seven countries are covered so far, each with 24 indicators. Below, the same countries are re-drawn for six different questions — same scale inside a module, sorted largest first, and every bar links to the full country page.
Who gets drawn
Birthplace is drawn by how many babies are born each year — so this is the actual lottery weighting.
Source: the game’s own draw weights (v0.8.55, UN World Population Prospects 2024).
Births vs people
A country can be small in people and large in births. The longer the connecting line, the more the two weightings disagree — Nigeria is the extreme here, China the opposite.
Orange dot: share of world births. Grey dot: share of world population.
How long a life lasts
Expected years at birth. The gap between the top and the bottom of this chart is more than twenty years — wider than any income figure explains on its own.
Income per person
GDP per person at purchasing power parity, on a log scale. Linear would flatten the bottom three into a single line and hide a threefold gap.
Deaths before five
Per 1,000 live births. This is the sharpest divide between the countries here, and it is what the first years of a run are actually exposed to.
Where people live
Share living in cities. It decides whether a run opens in a village household or an apartment block.
All 24 indicators, side by side
The same figures the charts use, in one table — for exact values, and for anything reading this page without running scripts.

Birth shares come from the game’s dataset; the 24 indicators are World Bank WDI, each at its own reference year (the country pages give the year behind every figure). This site is an unofficial mirror; the official game is at 1in8b.life.
