About World Affairs

We believe everyone deserves access to clear, honest geopolitical intelligence — not just analysts with expensive subscriptions.

Our Mission

World Affairs started with a simple frustration: understanding global events requires piecing together data from a dozen different sources, most of them buried behind paywalls or presented in formats that require a PhD to decode.

We set out to fix that. Our goal is to make geopolitical intelligence as easy to access as checking the weather — free, visual, and genuinely useful for students, journalists, investors, travelers, and anyone trying to make sense of the world.

Where Our Data Comes From

We only use data from trusted, authoritative sources. Here's what powers our tools:

World Bank — GDP, population, trade, and development data
SIPRI — Military expenditure and arms transfer data
UN Development Programme — Human Development Index (HDI)
Transparency International — Corruption Perceptions Index
Institute for Economics & Peace — Global Peace Index
Henley & Partners — Passport power rankings
US/EU/UN Official Records — Sanctions lists and restrictions

What We Stand For

🔓

Always Free

No paywalls, no signup required. Geopolitical intelligence should be a public good.

🎯

Genuinely Accurate

We cite sources for everything. If we're uncertain, we say so.

🌍

Politically Neutral

We show data, not opinions. Our tools present facts — what you conclude is up to you.
