My biggest gripe is, what is gained by showing this data in a diagram that can't be done with a simple list? Literally no extra info in the right hand side.
I guess if you have trouble with figuring out which number is bigger you can look at the thickness of the lines.

Being able to post it on r/dataisbeautiful, which is currently enamored with that style of diagram, especially if they can make it utterly useless as a way of conveying information.

They're probably counting Belgium, which is mentioned as planning to take action but hasn't announced it yet.

I liked New Zealand saying they'd expel a Russian diplomat if they had any.

Clearly not looking hard enough. They have to have some Russian agents kicking around somewhere.

They couldn't find any that were known to be connected to Russian intelligence agencies. So either our security service has got worse or Russia has moved on since the days when we had the fourth largest soviet embassy in the world.

I don't know what bothers me more, that they've not differentiated in colour between mantle / outer core / inner core, that the list on the side is out of order, or that the subtitle goes from innermost to outermost instead of outermost to innermost like the attempt at the list
