Possible improvements include having a template for the status background color, and also generate a template for each country to have an 'info-box' or similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_Country_or_territory wikipedia's] that will summarize in a consistent fashion the 'relevant' info and status of each.

I always find the status hard to follow because the color choices aren't in rainbow order, yet they look like they should be. Red is currently almost as good as green, while orange is worse. I have to keep looking back at the key to remind myself. |

If you pick rainbow colors, please use rainbow order. Likewise, if you pick blackbody (thermal: black,dark-red,red,orange,yellow,white,blue-white) colors you should use the normal order for that. |

poor color choice
I always find the status hard to follow because the color choices aren't in rainbow order, yet they look like they should be. Red is currently almost as good as green, while orange is worse. I have to keep looking back at the key to remind myself.
If you pick rainbow colors, please use rainbow order. Likewise, if you pick blackbody (thermal: black,dark-red,red,orange,yellow,white,blue-white) colors you should use the normal order for that.

Proposing adding country boxes
