Here's a breakdown of how the graphics work: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/d3-js/I2a...
The geographic distortion is neat.

I don't like the bubble charts though -- when loading a new set of data the bubbles are completely rearranged making a quick glance comparison between two countries difficult.

That is one of the main problems with bubble charts. Unless you have a sophisticated packing algorithm, the layout of the chart won't have much meaning. For comparing the projects between countries, another method of display will have to be used.
If anyone has any questions about the data itself, I'm happy to answer/elaborate.
Really slick. Congrats, John!
