If all it does (and that would still be a lot!) is to aggregate and format
data from machine-readable sources like Wikidata, I don't see the point for
a project - some code can do that on its own just fine.
Now, the output needs to be designed, and the numbers need to be kept
up-to-date; at least the former will require humans at the wheel. What else
would have to be done by humans?

sister projects. The Global Economic Map provides a standardized format to
present economic information. Wikidata will help collect the data, but the
Global Economic Map is the best way to present economic data. It's similar
to Wikispecies in this regard. There should be a separate Wiki project to
map out economic information in the world.
Does this make senses?

"number" type, then generate these for
all countries with a bot?
