I apologize if this has already been posted as an idea. I realize that it is almost impossible that this has not been mentioned. I would take the time to view all post to see if it had but it seems that there is a database error with jolt right now. So please add this to the post that already exists, if indeed it does.
Circumstance: I was looking to find a little more information about the patterns and rational behind the ranking of nations in the various ranking listings per day. It is easy enough to find out my own ranking, but if I would like to find out the national information of similarly ranked nations and the way in which they govern, this becomes very difficult. I find myself sifting through the listings, page by page, until I get to my own. On the average I am ranked somewhere in the 30,000's, well I timed it and to get to the nations ranked as I am as fast I can, it takes three hours. I have no idea as to weather this system of thinking will ever yield data that will be beneficial because it is vastly to expensive in time to pursue regularly, or at all.
Idea: I have noticed that each page has ten nations on it, thus logically if I where to be ranked at 30,000, the page I am on is 3000. But knowing what page I am on only barely helps speed the process. If there where some kind of "goto page #" command of some kind that a person could type the page they wished to view, I could achieve my system of thinking nearly time expense free and I would not dwell on whether it would have yielded any value at all.
Also as of this time I would like to question exactly why nation states even has a hugely cumbersome listing of all nations and their rankings respective to each other, if the method to view pages is to terrible. Perhaps I am missing something in all of this and you could direct me to a solution that is even better for both parties.
Thank you for your time in reading this.
