We chose to use and select these variables to try to give the child who visits our page an image of what each country is like. Is it big or small? Is it very populated or not? Does it have mountainous areas or not? Does it get a lot of rain or is it a dry place? Are they rich or poor? All of these data are important because, either on their own rationally or through you—parents and guardians—they can begin to build the understanding needed to grasp, in a superficial and schematic way, what the world is.
We also want to give the necessary and fair publicity and thanks to all those websites dedicated to collecting data that we have used to build this website.
The page we have used the most is Worldometer. We have relied on it to obtain data on population, area, density, GDP per capita, median age, and life expectancy. We obtained the literacy rate for all countries from this article by Expansión, annual precipitation from Index Mundi, growth from World Data, and the population of world cities and the highest elevations of each country from World Population Review; as for the longest rivers, the website we chose is WorldoStats.
Our images
All our images come from an AI, in our case from Bing. Although the potential of this type of technology is immense, we support its use (in fact, that is what we have done on this website) only when there is an inability to do otherwise or a significant gain in execution time. In our case, we have a large number of drawings because we consider them more attractive for children. If we had created all the website’s graphics ourselves, we would have spent months creating them.

Disclaimer
Geography is a broad and complex field of knowledge. For that reason, we apologize for any error that may exist on the website. This is a family project made with the best intentions and, as we have already said, we are relying on nationals from all the countries we talk about to try to maintain truthfulness and accuracy as much as we can. But there will always be mistakes that may even hurt sensitivities. If so, please contact us at the following email: errores@supergeokid.com
