Country development snapshot vs all countries (percentile) API

For one country, the latest value of five development indicators PLUS where that country ranks globally for each (percentile against every other country, direction-aware so lower-is-better metrics like inflation/CO2 are scored correctly). The derived peer-percentile is the value: it says not just 'what' but 'how this country compares to the world'. Answers 'how developed is this country relative to others', 'is its life expectancy above or below the global norm', 'global percentile for GDP per capita'.
