Interesting maps

Very cool.  These are maps where the size of the country changes depending on where they rank in an enormous list of categories:  population in 1500, meat consumed, rail freight, extreme heat, Zoroastrians....this is the index....

Isn't it? Some are animated so you can watch the countries getting bigger and smaller, bigger and smaller.....and some you can download as a poster with the map and supporting information, definitely something I can use at work.
