While not statistics, a tool I find very interesting for visualization
is worldmapper.org

   For instance, if you want to understand what the so-called "Copyright
Debate" is really about, you only need to look at:

http://www.worldmapper.org/display.php?selected=168

"Over half (53%) of the value of all royalty and license fees paid in
2002 were received in one territory: the United States. Large
proportions of these fees were also received in Japan and the United
Kingdom."


   Similar streatchings of the map exist for other statistics.
