  • How the World Shapes Up

    Interesting series of cartograms...

    We all know what the world looks like. But a new series of extraordinary maps shows our planet in a very different light. Rather than defining each country by size, these computer-generated modified maps redraw the globe with each country's size proportionate to its strengths, or weaknesses, in a whole series of categories

              Hmm...I'm a bit surprised PL has relatively low alcohol consumption And it seems that, relative to its economy, it spends quite a lot on military...
