No Country is Average — Six Economic Dimensions Simultaneously, 2023

Each line traces one country across six indicators. Countries that appear alike on one axis diverge sharply on others. Japan grows slowly and carries 263% debt but has 2.6% unemployment. Netherlands runs the largest current-account surplus (+7.7%) with trade openness of 156% of GDP — off the chart for most peers. South Africa is an outlier on unemployment (32.9%), structurally different from every other economy here. Russia pairs high growth with the lowest debt in the set (22%). Drag on any vertical axis to filter — multi-axis brushing isolates peer clusters.
