This program plots an interactive graph of key economic indicators. It is currently hardcoded such that

• x axis - gdp per capita
• y axis - total fertility rate
• size - population
• color - life expectancy

Example ouput is given below: Hovering over any of the datapoints will display information as in the guam example.

TODO

• add user defined economic indicators
  • intelligently scale/format axes, and sizes based on the distribution of indicators
  • add command line interface
• maybe use something like d3.js to make it a web app
