This is by far the most interesting information visualization that I have seen. It was designed by Ewa Tuteja.
Reasons: 1. transparent, relevant, and true - I find the information is very honest. It shows many aspects of a country without being bias
2. Very interactive - it shows information when the mouse hovers over it. It does not reveal the whole information unless you click it. You should pay attention to the legend before looking into the web index.
3. Good use of symbols - By using trees, it is well understood the growth, which in this context, they are talking about maturity. The branches well explain the other information in specific issues for each country. For the overall score, viewers are able to see them clearly through the circle.
3. Minimalism - It presents most of it information through images and shapes. It also categorize each elements in a simple way, not too many words, complicated or colorful.
4. Fairly ergonomic - It is easy to look using different devices, like desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphones. If you drag with 2 fingers, it enlarges or reduces. If clicked and drag, it moves the graph. However, it still have some slight bug when sometimes it cannot zoom out completely, otherwise it is a great design.
