Seemless Navigation

This dashboard offers a number of ways to explore the data. Selecting a country on either the map or scatterplot will select that country across the whole dashboard. The dashboard also allows for countries to be selected by continent and updates to compare countries based on what is selected to make more specific comparisons.
