Altered Maps XVIII: Continuing Curious Cartography

The dot representation is strange, to say the least. Given the massive number in the US, relative to its population, if this was actually a function it'd need to include the number of killers in a negligible way. Then again, it's not landmass-based either, given other cases (France has a bigger landmass than Germany).

Not only do we have more than all the rest, ours are guaranteed to be the best equiped too. Bump stocks for all!
Exactly ^^ I am fairly certain you typed the question as I was editing my own post with this remark about the legend.
It is the UK that stands out to me for some reason. Third highest total, one of the lower populations at the top of the chart but one of the smallest dots.
Maybe the function includes lack of pubs per capita?
Doesn't look like it had any self-consistent methodology for the graphical representation, insofar as one such would factor in the actual stats presented.

If this serial killer business is sick, clearly America is not sick. Look how small our circle is. And look at Canada. Everybody thinks they are nice but their circle is huge! Their problem is much bigger! America best!

I have TBH no idea, but I have talked to some old people in English, and they do manage surprisingly.
No clue how many English/American soldiers were stationed here directly after the war.

I mean, you could list pretty much any seven things.
I don't think of myself a knowing anything about blood spatter analysis, except that forensics experts use it to help them solve crimes.
Which is pretty much nothing more than the definition of blood spatter analysis.
That said, I could have guessed that answers to 4 and 7, if they were put to me as a question:
does the surface make a difference?
does it help identify what weapon was used?
I think the dots on the graph have no role other than to help identify countries. Canada and Russia are physically big countries, so they need big dots. Once you've placed Canada's big dot, America can be identified as America with a smaller dot.

I think it’s just put on the countries represented in the bar chart, not connected to anything. It’s bad design, but when has that ever stopped anyone?

I thought the same thing. Why spell out "live" for each species when it's in the title of the map? And the alternative wouldn't make any sense anyway! Who has dead anything as their live stock?

Prague and Saarland are white, for some reason. The rest of the whites are all countries.
I'd guess it is due to the relative lifespans.
A chicken bred for meat is slaughtered at about two months old, lambs and pigs at maybe six months, bullocks at about twenty two months.
If you counted it as the number slaughtered in a year it could be very different.
