The resources on the various pages are recommended for finding the information necessary to do this analysis. Remember that information about one country can't be evaluated without comparisons to other countries, even if just comparison to the US. A single data point like GDP in 2018 is a data point, not information. Many of these resources make it simple to do comparisons.
