The Map That Will Change The Way You See The World
How do you view your country relative to others? Chances are if it’s based on most world maps, your view is distorted.
As the world turns its gaze to the rich and pretty people in Davos this coming week, The World Economic Forum unleashed the following cartogram, created by Reddit user TeaDranks, that could change your entire perception of the world. Cartograms scale a region’s geographic space according to a particular attribute and in this case each square now represents 500,000 people.

We all know that India and China have large populations, but this map emphasises their size on a global scale. Compared to conventional world maps, the two Asian powerhouses dominate. Along with several East Asian neighbours – Bangladesh, Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia – their contribution to the global population is clear.
The size of Nigeria and Brazil compared to the rest of Africa and Latin America is equally apparent.
The map also effectively highlights the contribution of cities and regions to total populations. For example, the greater Tokyo region accounts for a significant proportion of Japan’s overall population. Equally, Delhi, Shanghai and Mumbai all occupy areas larger than many European nations.
At the other end of the scale, some economies which are barely visible on traditional world maps appear much larger on the cartogram. Consider the cases of Hong Kong and Taiwan, whose relatively large populations compared to their geographical sizes see them feature much more prominently.
Conversely, some countries which are very large on conventional maps can barely be seen. Canada, Russia and Australia are much smaller in TeaDranks’ representation, which was inspired by Paul Breding’s 2005 work. Canada in particular disappears almost entirely.

European people need to start fucking like rabbits...
Indonesia has 255 million people??...Unreal, double Japan's population.
All of those countries are net importers of food as well. Their countries are going to be hurting when the crisis hits them.
Size matters!
It's no wonder them gals go gaga over us Vikings!
Canada fell off the edge of the earth eh ?
H-1B's or refugee status for everyone.
"European people need to start fucking like rabbits..."
Too bad they suck like weenies.
"...Canada in particular disappears almost entirely."
Oh Justin, have works cut out for you?
Taking in moar, breed moar? (now that "wealth in the ground" no longer / not shared !)
sorry...couldn't turn off bold.
burkinafaso?
If was better before wyminz were given the right to vote.
Statutes to prevent the War on Wyminz, made Marriage of no benefit to the males, and have made sex all but illegal, unless you are an actual, raping musloid. If the responsible men are not encouraged, stick around, wyminz are going to face the REAL rape culture, and the REAL War on Wyminz.
Fathers, teach your daughters to defend themselves. Ladies, keep your weapons clean, and your aim sharp.
That's hilarious, I forgot all about Canada.
Naw, just moved to a better location. Neighbours were pretty noisy and since we're polite just easier to find a better spot than cause a fuss. But if you manage to get a ride from ferryman it's down to the first light, take a right then straight on until morning. Give people directions and they still get lost. Big party is in 2 years 6 months and 29 days. RSVP only.
CANADA has a small population by comparison, but we always punch above our weight in the World.
Want to see something interesting? Google image search; 'Happy American Couple'. Note who's missing.
Jesus CHRIST. And I remember in my sociology class lectures, one of the points of "white privilege" was being able to see your ethnicity represented proportionally in the media...
Okay, next couple of questions.
Do you know what year it is?
Do you know WHERE you are yet?
The first question will help you answer the second one or vice-a-versa. Just as an academic exercise of course.
Wow, according to Google, the darker your skin, the more likely you are a happy american couple.
Yea, tell that to Tina Turner! They's a reason theys be single.
Any world that I'm welcome to...

Huh. Itsa buncha jigs.
WTFing hell.
Vikings are pussies. You let human trash pollute your cities and soil your women all the while you do nothing about it.
However, it was a nice culture you once had.
Agreed. All Scandinavians are feminist wimps who deserve to have their women raped by blacks and Muslims.
At least the Danes have a sense of humour.
The Swedes are extremely angst-ridden these days: are we dying out fast enough to make uneducated brown foreigners truly happy?
Welcome to Sweden, by Angry Foreigner:

How do migrant (chancer) Somalis, Libyans and assorted human flotsam even survive the Swedish winter?
When I see footage of them they are dressed in t-shirts, sneakers and cheap 'leather' bum-freezers. Maybe a super-cold winter would rid Sweden of them- like a good hard frost kills garden pests?
The results of female dominated cultures, are quite clear. Feminize your men, and they will be replaced by rapacious garbage, who do not obey your laws.
Some of these feminist bitches are proposing curfews for all men. That should work out well.
Is that little blue dot above china russia? DAMN... they have Canada beat by a country mile.....
No, Russia is in yellow.
Now we should show this same type of map but using resource consumption as the measure.
Do a Google image search on "cartogram" and you will find cartograms on everything imaginable.
Don't fall into that Socialist trap.
That would be pure propaganda without showing resource consumption AND output of goods.
Another map is needed that shows PRODUCTION per capita.
Population maps are worthless without another factor to compare it to. It's about third grade level material. Where do most of the people live, etc.?
Useless.
Fight world over-population: EAT CHINESE
Long pig.
This is why they should call it, "Dead Aid."

The cartographer appears to have taken your advise in his use of color. Four colors is enough for any map.
Four colors theorem FTW !!!
And castrate the rest of the upright animals.
"European people need to start fucking like rabbits..."
That is the literal truth. European/Western (white peoples) birth rates are below population maintenance.
But MGTOW is the order of the day. Research MGTOW to understand the reasons why.
Well when one considers the ramifications of a marriage that doesn't work out in America nevermid the trauma to a child that may have been a result of said marriage can you blame them?
They are fucking like rabbits already.
Unfortunately, same sex doesn't increase the population.
Wrong, this map is meaningless without one peice of additional data.
How many people are living hand to mouth in those populations?
If you remove those people from the map (because they have no influence over their lives) then we have the people left who do influence the world, the majority will be in the US where more money is, along with in the EU.
THey fuck plenty, they need to stop aborting their kids and thinking of the fucking dog as their "child"....also being taxed to death for being productive doesn't help much either
Canada....you are doomed.
And the Scandinavians would be better off to just STFU & keep their heads down.
Cuz, democratized-demographics...or sumpin ;-)
Shhhh. that's the last thing we want the world to see. Our vast expanse of land with very few people. Now stop showing these things Tylers
That's why EVERY majority white nation is importing brown folks. The aging white population who were too busy fucking women on the pill....or having abortions need TAXPAYERS to keep their retirement nest feathered. And BIG CORP./GOV. fueled with tax dollars as well.
And they want gardeners, drivers, mechanics, clerks etc...
Not enough whites being produced to fill the future need.
White Christian culture is doomed at this point.
And MGTOW is the future.
