Make a topic filter for countries
A feature where you can filter topics when searching for countries (ex: Religion, Art, Economy, History, etc.) This would make it easier to find articles about countries and to find specific articles about certain topics about that country.

States and Provinces photo galleries

Lengthen reports
Some of the country reports are longer than others. Could you add more content so that all reports are the same length and cover the same topics?

We would love for there to be citations generated for everything, like the maps, or the Did You Know? on the landing page...
The maps and some of the information do not generate citations, so the students cannot cite the maps or the fun info on the main page.

Chinese Divisions(provinces, special administrative regions, municipalities, and autonomous regions) Edition
It would be great if you had a Chinese Provinces edition, similar to the U.S. States and Canadian Provinces editions you already offer especially since China is a large and diverse part of today's world.

Charts & Graphs downloadable in other formats
I do a lot of teacher trainings on how to use CultureGrams in the classroom. The teachers are very excited about having the ability to have their students create comparison charts and graphs. However, sharing their creations out is problematic. Would it be possible to add a feature so that charts and graphs could be downloadable in formats such as jpeg and png? CultureGrams is a statewide resources for our K-12 students, so I know this feature would be useful for many teachers and students in Iowa. Also, it would be helpful to have curriculum correlation with the Iowa Core…
