I had trouble finding all of the indicators on World Bank for Bhutan. Therefore, I searched for most of them within Gapminder or other verified sources. Additionally, I found it important to add the GNH indicator because that is what Bhutan uses. It acknowledges that material well-being is important but also acknowledges the importance of well-being through many other variables such as: community, knowledge, spirituality and harmony with nature (grossnationalhappiness.com).

Here is a really great Ted Talk depicting how unique and special Bhutan is, in relation to it's economic mindset, well-being and environmentalism.

Below are some Gapminder and WorldBank charts that I found particularly interesting mostly related to environmental factors, excluding the GDP graph and the Life Expectancy graph.

Terrific work finding all the indicators and searching through different sources to discover the metrics. Very nice variety of Gapminder chart explorations!
