This site lets you pick a country and compare a number of its quality-of-life stats to the US. But I think the most interesting part is the map that overlays the country on top of your geographic area. Given that I feel like I understand the state of California as a good scale, it's really interesting to see how the area of other countries compares.

Given how bad kids seem to be at geography, this might not be as interesting or surprising to them, but it raises questions about map scaling that at least I think are worth asking.
