Rotating globe tween from http://work.axismaps.com/amd/gc/oil/. See it in action there by mousing over the bar chart. Code more or less ripped from examples like http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4183330, but on IE9 and IE10, especially on slower machines, countries that are supposed to rotate to the back of the globe and disappear have a tendency to get stuck in view.
