YOU are the one that has to populate your database system with the data
that you want.

It won't magically download data from elsewhere on the Internet
(although MySQL AB might promise that as a feature for version 5.2...)

You have to find the data that you want, make sure it is in a form that
can be loaded into the database, and then submit it to your database.
Until you set up some tables (CREATE TABLE) and insert data into them
(INSERT), the database will remain idle.
