After reading the 'Mohammed Boys Name' thread and all the silly statements made without a shred of evidence i thought some of you might find this interesting...

www.worldmapper.org

It's a website that creates distorted world maps based upon various themes and statistics.

Just because this is OcUK GD here's some topical examples...

They don't appear to make any sense...?

They are maps that don't take geographical boundaries into account, for example if the UK has twice as much income from tourism than the US, then the area covered by the UK on the map will be twice that of the USA.

It calculates an average across the globe and then redraws each countries size based upon that variable.

The bottom map shows that the UK has a lot hgiher income from tourism than any other country in the world.
