This sort of data processing issue shows how valuable it is to make use of a widely recognised naming convention for something like country names: it makes further data analysis feasible.
Now that I had the data, I had to decide how to represent it. For the sake of this activity, I decided to use Excel to produce pictorial representations (even though R would do a perfectly good job), as that way I can play with some "interesting" representations which R might be less happy about generating. I also used graphics software to produce some of the graphics.
