Am I a dot on the map of the world?
Just a spot on the map of the world?
When I imagine the whole universe
Oh, where do I fit in?
A gridded cartogram shows considerable differences to the conventional cartograms on Worldmapper (and elsewhere). For example, in China the sparsely populated Himalayan regions can be distinguished from the densely populated eastern coastal regions. Internal variation within the United States and Mexico can also be recognized. Somewhat harder to identify (due to scale) but still evident are north-south differences in Great Britain and west-east differences in Germany. This map therefore shows the varying distributions of population on a subnational level and make them visible on a global view, regardless of administrative boundaries or other arbitrary units.
