Altered Maps ': To make a map larger than what it maps.

I like this part of the meme:

"President Madagascar! [...]"

The difference in granulation between population density (as precise as possible for the map) and income (country-level) is mildly misleading, though.

 

[warpus]

How do you mean?

 

[Kyriakos]

That map will probably remain the same in the future, but all numbers will have decreased. Keeping the balance is essential.

 

[warpus]

It's crazy how I actually did notice a big difference crossing the border from Thailand to Cambodia for example - in terms of infrastructure, my perceived poverty levels of the place, and so on.

Here's another cool map

^Malta has at least 15 (16) cities?

^Malta has at least 15 (16) cities?

Malta has a population of about 450 000 people. The capital of Malta, Valletta, has a population about 7000.

Honestly, I'm not sure Valletta even qualifies as a city.

 

[warpus]

Apparently Malta doesn't distinguish between villages, towns, and cities.

The map is also slightly deceiving in that .. for example teh capital of India is taken to be just the city proper - not the whole metro area. So for example that makes Washington DC a lot tinier than it actually is, if you want to be honest about it.

There are few things more satisfying than having your disease start in Madagascar.

Electricity bill ????

Hmm...In Warpus' map, what is the (second) independent micro-country in Italy?

(more over, what is the other micronation near Genoa?...)

 

[JohannaK]

Vatican City, San Marino, Monaco, Liechtenstein... I don't see any extra micronations.

 

[Kyriakos]

San Marino was the one.
I also thought that Monaco was even more in a special relation with France and not quite like Vatican city

 

[JohannaK]

Well, Monaco shares no border with Italy.

Great map, Chukchi

In Altered maps, another good old fashioned balkanization, this time of Oceania.
I must admit it's a bit messy, but the point is clear….

Some time in the future:



Main changes:
-Unification of the 13-15 pacific micro nations, with the remaining colonial standings.
-Separation of the Moluccas from Indonesia (an actual independent movement actually exists, although small), Papua New Guinea has all the island.
-Korea Unification because why not.
-Japanese rightful claims over pesky russians taken back.
-End of commies in china, reunification with taiwan.

Oh, in the case you didn't realize, this is not meant to be very historical……xD
