Irish Citizen => Nepal; Visa required...not in your database yet.
Actually, I'm putting data in for Nepal right as we speak. And Irish citizens don't need a visa before arriving in Nepal, they can get one at the border.
I've been multiple times, always got the visa before hand, am married to a Nepalese citizen, still needed a visa.
I don't understand the presentation. Allow the user to choose nationality from a drop down box, then show a world map colored various ways: - green no visa - blue for easy to obtain visas - red for difficult to obtain visas On a side note, it should probably be "United States citizen" and not "US".

To be fair, there are approximately 200 countries in this world. So you'll need data for about 200^2 = 40,000 different connections, and that's before considering subtleties like length of stay, PR statuses, etc.
Information for Australians is at Smart Traveller FWIW, under Entry/Exit info. e.g.,

However, there is one edge-case that I do not see covered:
I am a permanent resident of Germany, citizen of Vietnam and hold a valid visa for the US. Sometimes these qualifications allow for entry (for example Mexico). I'd love to see an overview of what other countries I can visit without a visa given my residency and other visas.
