What is this data? Is it last year's migrations? Averages? More context is needed.

  I added some context through the links at the bottom of the map: you can go to http://migrationsmap.net/about.html http://migrationsmap.net/about.html or directly to the page where the data is coming from: http://www.migrationdrc.org/research/typesofmigration/global_migrant_origin_database.html http://www.migrationdrc.org/research/typesofmigration/global...

    No, you need to have units on your data. Without units, numbers mean nothing. You select a country, and then you're presented with a list of other countries and some numbers. It's not clear that these are lifetime immigrants or permanent residents. There should be a title on the country info box "Total lifetime immigrants" or "Total lifetime emigrants", and ideally a legend at the bottom defining what that means. It's also confusing in that the number format follows a European convention of using decimal points rather than commas in between every three digits the numbers, though I can accept that localising your site isn't a big concern.

      No, I don't NEED to do anything... That said, your comments are totally relevant, I will implement them.
