Altered Maps XIV: Cartographical Consistency

[Mango Elephant]

I think, apart from the horrendous colouring which I agree is bad, the reason it doesn't look "right" is because it isn't the familiar Mercator.

My main issue with it is that Europe is so squashed that it's hard to notice individual countries.

 

[Takhisis]

That's so… Eurocentric!

Or should I post this in "Daily graphs and charts"?

I wonder why the CIA cares for Heavy Metal .

I think the map would be better in percentage of total music bands, because I'm sure that e.g. in Sudan there are also not many Country or Hiphop bands.

Cause most new rock bands here are metal anyway. They used to be alternative, in the 90s, back when greek-lyrics alt rock was decently popular (but still far less popular than english-speaking alt rock).

Weird, I thought more countries celebrated women's day.

Even here in Canada it's unofficially celebrated. Surprised it didn't make the map - but maybe I'm just mistaken about the overall acceptance of this day in the country.

So women's day is basically communism.

Well, what does "non-official holyday" mean?

 

[Borachio]

I don't know. But I take a lot of them.

probably "we acknowledge its existence but we're not gonna give you a day off"

 

[Lohrenswald]

probably "we acknowledge its existence but we're not gonna give you a day off"

Well that happens in Norway.

 

[warpus]

Yeah, I thought that happened in Canada, but maybe I've just been seeing the Polish diaspora and other such communities doing this, and not mainstream Canadian culture. I will have to pay more attention next time around.

Mercator projection = 1 downvote

I think it's a neat watercolour.

I'm just mocking the reddit anti-mercator nazis. Posting a mercator projection map in r/mapp0rn makes your slightly worse that 2 hitlers.

 

[Kyriakos]

Great map

 

[warpus]

Too bad, this map was painted by Hitler.

Hey, at least New Zealand made it onto the map.
