How life in Iraq has changed

Iraq goes to the polls today . But what kind of country is it now? The best research information available about everyday life in the country can be found at Brookings , which measures everything from security to how many people have electricity. For many Iraqis now, life is increasingly about the daily essentials, as the violence that the country has known starts to recede - just a little. The graphic shows how we visualised the information in the paper today. Take a look at the original data on Brookings - and let us know what you think.
