Everything you want to know about the UK Census is here (and a bit more besides). Lots of interesting information and plenty of data but you'll need to register to be able to use it....probably more effort than it is worth. Geography High
Geography High is an unusual concept .....a virtual reality school with only geography on the curriculum. The population room in the second year pupils' assembly hall is probably a good starting point for some interesting statistics National Statistics
National Statistics is the official UK statistics site with lots and lots of statistical information. You'll need a couple of days just to navigate your way around the site but the 'themes' page is a useful starting point for your journey. World Atlas
I found out that there are 192 countries in the world...give or take a few being argued over. An interesting site with some interesting details including atlases. guides, flags and even a map of the week!!! World Factbook
The World Factbook is produced by the CIA (yes the Central Intelligence Agency) and contains a comprehensive resource of facts and statistics on more than 250 countries....and I thought there were only 192 (see above). Worldometer
Find out what is going on in the world by visiting this site which includes the current world population as it increases before your very eyes. Then check out births, deaths, carbon dioxide emissions, calories consumed and the amount of time wasted waiting for the internet to download....plus a lot more besides.
