Compare a World Bank indicator across MULTIPLE countries in one call, returned ranked high→low. PREFER for “GDP per capita: US vs China vs Germany”, “rank the G7 by CO2 emissions”, “compare population of ”, “rank by rule of law / corruption / government effectiveness”. Pass 2+ ISO country codes. Defaults to each country’s most-recent available value; pass a year for a specific year. Common indicators: NY.GDP.MKTP.CD (GDP), NY.GDP.PCAP.CD (GDP per capita), SP.POP.TOTL (population), EN.GHG.CO2.MT.CE.AR5 (CO2, Mt), FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG (inflation %), GOV_WGI_CC.EST / GOV_WGI_RL.EST / GOV_WGI_GE.EST / GOV_WGI_RQ.EST / GOV_WGI_PV.EST / GOV_WGI_VA.EST (Worldwide Governance Indicators — corruption, rule of law, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, political stability, voice & accountability). For CO2 rankings prefer country_co2_emissions; for a single country’s full governance profile prefer get_governance_indicators.
