Waiting is boring

In modded Civ 5 I used to pass the time whilst waiting for turns to pass by looking over statistics in info addicts. In Civ 6 there really isn't anything to do whilst waiting. Was wondering if anyone else felt this way, or if anyone had any ideas for how this could be improved.
 
I agree, lack of information is also boring to me. Civ4 was one version in which had much statistics and information, and this then seems to be decreasing in each version gives series, I had to use the mod InfoAddict in civ5.

I would like to see rankings of civs, where every wonder is built ... I feel in the dark without additional information
 
I suppose that main problem is the fact that lots of information is now hidden away due to the espionage and diplomacy system. Still, I feel like it wouldn't hurt for them to convert already available information into more meaningful numbers; for instance being able to see how populous your empire is in terms of thousands or millions of people.
 
I agree that we should be able to see rankings of all of the demographics for known civs as we learn about them via diplomacy and espionage.

It would also be nice if we had a world Wonders list where we could view them as they are built/discovered.

As it is, I just dink around in the Civilopedia between turns.

I'd rather look over stats, but that's actually not a bad idea. I'd started just playing the game in full-screen windowed mode and browsing the web when I was waiting for turns, but usually that means I don't know when turns end, so that means that on top of waiting I waste a few more minutes browsing the internet.

Thing is that if you play a game for 400 turns, where you have to wait for half a minute at every turn, that would add up to 12000 seconds; so its very easy to spend 3 hours plus waiting around in the game- which is far too much time to just be wasted. It really seems to me that this isn't something Firaxis has though about.
