Altered maps IZ: gib clay!

Found some maps on gold mining that I thought were interesting

 

[Kyriakos]

^Gold was mined in the region literally since ancient times.

It is astounding that folks still use the Mercator projection for anything.

What is the deal with Japan?

What is the deal with Japan?

The rate of 3.2% for this year has appeared once before in 2010ish, otherwise it has been in the under 2.5% group; the FAO does not calculate percentages below 2.5% due to some difficulties.

I would hazard to say that it is an anomaly that might be resultant of some kinds of data collection or calculation error rather than a worrying sign of malnutrition.

Never forget thet statictics are a tool to show the rest of the world : "we are doing fine" , they can be falsified.

Sorry for the size of the pic (laziness ^^)
So there is an outer Mongolia in the US, with only 2% of the population living there.

 

[Arakhor]

2% of 320 million is still 6.4 million, nearly double the population of Mongolia.

Also in Mongolia population is heavily skewed towards the capitol. Exclude Ulaanbaatar and it is really empty. These maps give some idea, see that the bottom scale of the mongolia one is ~1/3rd as populated populated than the US one.

Spoiler Scale :

2000 U.S. population density in persons per sq. mile (contiguous U.S. only). Averaged on a per-county basis.

Legend, light to dark (white to violet):

0-1 (mint green)

5-9 (blue-green)
10-24 (orange)
25-49 (teal)
50-99 (lime green)
100-249 (dark blue)
250-66,995 (violet)

The relative barrenness, along with the shape of the region (looks a lot like outer Mongolia) are more than enough for the tie ^^

 

[Birdjaguar]

the northern central plains is empty because it is mostly farmland or empty of resources. In addition is very cold (currently) in winter. The western areas are popular for visiting in summer. That big space is farm and ranch land with few cities. NM is similar; it is a big state with low density except for Albuquerque: farm land, oil land, national forests, ranch land. Low density. The US has vast areas with very few people.

The area is about 1000 miles across by 400 or so miles north to south. Mongolia is a bit bigger: 1200 miles across by 500 deep.

Here is a map of the government owned forest land in the US. They own more under different auspices.

That is one weird map. If I had my other username I'd be ruling Bene : )
I wonder where Luxemburg and Istanbul went...

 

[~Corsair#01~]

At first you think the map look ridiculous, but then you see Austroslovakia.

Istanbul needed to be harvested so Bulgreece would have the resources to conquer Crimea.

Istanbul needed to be harvested

The spice must flow.

At least eastern Thrace, yes. To sort of look like pre-first crusade Komnenian empire. Add former Fyrom too.
Then again, eastern Thrace doesn't seem to even exist in the map.

nice video btw.
