Can anyone find any other maps like these?

GDP of the United States; orange and blue represent 50% of it respectively. Very interesting result.

And basically looks like they handpicked what medium cities would add up to give them the percent they wanted and excluded others.
 
A useful image to deploy against those who would post the "red vs. blue campaign maps" and say "SEE LOOK HOW MUCH RED THE DEMON-CRATS HAVE USURPED THE WHITE THRONE"
 
Here's another image like that one:

Though that said those areas in orange are between 1/4 and 1/3 the population, and that's interesting.
 
What's that blob to the North-East of Atlanta? Charlotte, NC?
 
I think so.
 
Yeah.

Just because the data just correlates to population doesn't mean it has t be that way for all countries- that's why I asked for other maps.
 
I wish we could see the other proportions. You know, 60-40% 90-10%. I'm not sure how that would be calculated, but it would be nice to see just where it starts to correlate so heavily.
 
GDP per 1 square km in Poland:

Compared to several other countries (also GDP per 1 square km - so countries with higher pop. density are favoured)

Total GDP of Polish Voivodeships as total GDP of countries of the world:

So for example Greater Polish Voivodeship has the same total GDP as entire country of Bulgaria:

Subcarpathian Voivodeship has the same total GDP as entire country of Tanzania:

Mazovian Voivodeship has the same total GDP as entire country of Peru:

Warmia-Masuria V. = Gabon
Podlachia V. = Congo
Łódzkie V. = Lithuania (Litwa)

Etc., etc., etc.

Everyone's seen that.
 
I found it cool.
 
To be fair, it's still impressive.

No. Because I know how many people live in China, India, and Japan respectively, and I also know that Southeast Asia is also very heavily populated. So it's hardly breathtaking for me; I actually thought the circle should have been smaller.

Also, nice how people immediately leap to defend the originality and usefulness of that particular map.

Perhaps not, but even if they know it, people don't think about the fact that there live more people in India than in entire Europe, United States, Canada and Australia.

The latter two are wastelands for the most part.
