GeoGuessr Country Streak: how often do you get each country
I’ve been playing the country streak mode for almost a year now and in this timespan, I reached nearly 2.5 thousand points. I was curious to see how often you get each country, so I built an app which would do the calculation job for me. Unsurprisingly, Finland, Sweden, the US, Hungary and Brazil took […]

GeoGuessr Country Streak Stats App
To make a map about how frequent each country comes up in the GeoGuessr country streak mode, I built a .NET app that would do the job of calculating the figures for me. It connects to the game’s API, using the endpoints I discovered using the developer console while browsing the GeoGuessr website. Here you […]

Temperature stability in Central America
Once, a friend of mine wondered if there was a place in the world where the temperature stays more or less the same throughout the year. “Well, check out the areas around the equator”, I said and made this map. Although yes, the Caribbean and Central America are not the closest areas to the equator, […]

GeoGuessr API endpoints
To work on GeoGuessr maps, I created an app that would pull in data from the game using the game’s API. I had to use my browser’s console to find out what API calls the website actually makes as there is no publically accessible documentation on it. So here’s my unofficial guide for those who […]

Purchasing power in Russia based on potatoes
Some time ago we looked at the nominal monthly income in Russian regions but of course, the picture would be incomplete if we didn’t look at the actual difference in purchasing power.

Where people do not want war
Is it normal to want to kill other human beings? I don’t think so. No ordinary people want war. Doesn’t matter where and who you are. War is death, destruction and nothing but suffering.

Ukrainian Independence Referendum
In 1991, the Ukrainians clearly voted to leave the USSR and become an independent country. The referendum passed with 90.32% of the voters saying “yes, I approve” to the declaration of Ukrainian independence, which stated that continuing a millennium-old tradition of statehood in Ukraine, the country was to become independent as of now (then) and […]

Russian regions
In light of recent events, I thought it might be a good idea to make a map with an overview of Russian regions. There are 6 types of subdivisions in Russia: Republics – nominally autonomous, with its own language and constitution, created around local non-Russian ethnicities in these regions but when it comes to international […]

Apprehended anti-war protesters in Russia
This invasion is absolutely absurd. This man is a paranoid senile maniac. I stand with Ukraine. I detest everything about this Russian government. I adore those Russians who risk being arrested and go out on the streets to protest these appalling actions of the Soviet Russian dictatorship. I don’t want to take the focus off […]

Top corporate tax rates around the world
Taxation usually comprises a large chunk of a government’s budget and a sizeable part of it comes from corporate income tax. Attitudes for taxation differ per country with some preferring lower rates to entice businesses and some preferring higher rates. Nevertheless, even when tax rates are pretty high, companies in some countries manage to avoid […]
