Guess the Map II: witty sequel titles failed me

[Jos Ballenbak]

Is it demograhpic, or geographic?

 

[Cashie]

Black Death, Lighter being more cases and darker being less cases?

Australia says no.
My first thought was diarrhoea: high concentration in Asian countries and Mexico...

 

[Cashie]

This is probably an easy one.

The Map

I want to say inverse population density in Asia... empty space in other words

 

[Tee Kay]

Would that be the shape of Australia, scaled according to population?

You're on the right track. Wrong country/continent/region, though.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Argentina or South America, maybe chile

 

[Cashie]

Canada, by population.

 

[Arakhor]

That could easily account for the islands, but that would suggest that they are as well populated as Vancouver, for instance.

 

[Tee Kay]

Nope.

 

[say1988]

Not enough islands for Canada.

I would guess it is Russia, assuming up is North.
Perhaps oul of natural gas reserves?

 

[Masada]

Skewed to much to the east for Russia, there should be some serious blobage in the north-east.

 

[Arakhor]

It reminds me of the United States, but I'm sure it's not right.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

The bit at the top looks like the Netherlands to me . . .

 

[sepamu92]

Could it be Iceland?

 

[shadowplay]

China by population?

 

[Joecoolyo]

Japan?

 

[Theige]

Map scaled to the number of Chinese people living in Russia?

 

[Tee Kay]

nope.

It is a cartogram scaled to population, by the way. So you guys got half the answer, at least.

 

[madviking]

Population cartogram for the UAE. (nice shop job tk)

 

[madviking]

Since I know I'm right (should be pretty easy?).

 

[choxorn]

Does it have something to do with weather?
