This seems specifically designed to make the us look bad. If you try to compare us and Libya it almost seems like it would be so much better to move there which is stupid. Statistics are calculated in such a way that is just unfavorable for the us

It tells you what the sources are. The most commonly used source is the CIA World Factbook. It strikes me as a little unlikely the CIA has a hidden agenda to make US statistics look bad. Anyway, if you're looking at it from a non-IS IP the US isn't the baseline.

Also strikes me as a little unlikely that anyone actually reading the descriptions rather than looking at the colours would prefer Libya to the US on the basis of the stats (sure, that healthcare is really expensive and that prison population is insane, but I'd rather earn 5x as much and live longer than have a smaller carbon footprint)

I don't think it's specifically targeting anyone, it's just oversimplifying issues. e.g. a place may look really good on average salary but terrible in terms of GINI (inequality). Neither should be taken in isolation
