You could use data about countries (this site looks like it has a number of links to spreadsheets) and randomly generate questions of the form "Does [country] or [country] have higher [economic statistic]?". If it's a concern that the questions would be too easy, you could pick only cases where the statistics are in fact reasonably close.
