A few more ways of obtaining the table
properties = {"Name", "GDP", "Population"};
Outer[CountryData[#1, #2] &,
  CountryData[], properties] ==
 ({CountryData[#, "Name"],
     CountryData[#, "GDP"],
     CountryData[#, "Population"]} & /@
   CountryData[]) ==
 Quiet[Thread[
     CountryData[#, properties]] & /@
   CountryData[]] ==
 (Table[CountryData[#, p], {p, properties}] & /@
      CountryData[]) ==
 Table[CountryData[c, p],
  {c, CountryData[]}, {p, properties}]
True

I have a question. How to make {f,g}[a,b,c] to become {{f[a],g[a]},{f
[b],g[b]},{f[c],g[c]}}?
I want to do {GPD, Population} for all countries.
Something similar to the following...
{CountryData[#, "GDP"] &, CountryData[#, "Population"] &} /@
 CountryData[]
It ends up in the form of {f,g}[a,b,c,d,...]. I need a way to
'distribute' the country name into the GDP and Population portion.
Thanks.
