The passport to have if you want to avoid complicated visa requirements is a British, Finnish or Swedish one. These passports gives the right to admission into 173 countries without visa or with a simplified visa at arrival according to the British consulting bureau Movehub. Second place is passports from Denmark, Luxembourg, Germany and USA with 172 countries. The passport that gives the least amount of freedom of movement is the Afghan, that gives the right to admission without visa or simplified visa into 28 countries.
However, the US passport is only marginally behind the top 3 - by 1 country!

I'd be interested in a tool that expanded on this, and let you quickly diff between two countries - Say, to find out the apparent 5 countries that Australians need a visa for but the British don't, or whether the 170 countries that Spain and Japan can visit are actually the same 170.
Does anybody happen to have the dataset they used for this?
