   Hi there.
   
   The following are some easy to use tools for analyzing politics and conflicts, but especially for geopolitics and economic analysis.
   
   https://www.oilmap.xyz/
   
   Map of world oil/gas drilling sites, lines, fields, and bid rounds.
   
   https://oec.world/en
   
   This is easily the best site on the entire internet for analyzing export/import profiles of different nations and interstate trade relationships. My personal favorite.
   
   https://decolonialatlas.wordpress.com/2016/10/09/agricultural-maps-of-the-world/
   
   This is a set of maps, allbeit 8 years old now, of global agricultural output by crop.
   
   https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/collection/aglands/maps/gallery/search
   
   A set of maps of total croplands for regions of the globe.
   
   https://mrdata.usgs.gov/major-deposits/map-us.html

   An interactive map of the world's topography
   
   https://liveuamap.com/
   
   An interactive map that displays the locations of events in conflicts, most notably the Israel-Palestine and Russian-Ukrainian conflicts.
   
   https://www.luminocity3d.org/WorldPopDen/#3/20.00/10.00
   
   A map of the world's population density.
   
   https://maps.worldbank.org/projects/wb/country/IN/India?status=active
   
   I have not used all of the features that this tool has to offer, but it is an interactive world map that allows you to look at ongoing projects funded by the World Bank and their respective datasets.
   The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

   Yeah, I also don't have any better alternatives other than compiling the data myself.

   I use GroundNews.com. GroundNews.com for when you want to see the left right slant on any event. The recent Israel Palestine attacks? Hmmm it says here that 63% of articles are coming from a right leaning bias, wow. That's crazy!
