30 Interesting Maps To Broaden Your Understanding Of The World (New Pics)

Kiwis breathe a sigh of relief that they are not being overlooked for a change

We're seriously censoring names of countries??

OwO That's an interesting map

Cammo.

The fact that so many people misunderstand this map shows that people don't get out of their house enough. Looking at this map you can tell where the deserts are and where the Mississippi River and Missouri Rivers run. Not everything is about American politics. Political parties should be classified terrorist organizations. Except they spread fear to manipulate voters to vote for them.

Covering up a bad comment! Do me a favor and don't view the one at the bottom. Also my state is greyish-green! Would you look at that!

I would love to know how they managed to determine this

OK but what does it mean?

Color by what definition? Vegetation, hydration, precipitation?

In winter or summer?

Coming from Washington State - "The Evergreen State" - I was very pleasantly surprised during a recent visit to (northern) Alabama by how green it is. The landscape is heavily forested with oak trees and pine, and in light of that I can clearly see why Alabama on this map is greener shaded than Washington State.

Correct usage of football ⚽️ /s ☺️ not that I care about sports, just find the wordusage peculiar..

Sure, if you can manage not to pay taxes or rent and don't eat for a few decades.

Now do Australia

I wouldn't want to live next door to people who "Would Not Want To Live Next Door To Lgbt People"...

pretty good for the date. quite excellent actually .

At least it started backfiring in Utah, banning the bible from schools. For content of murder, violence, sexual things etc.

English is mandatory here in Germany, additionally there are usually choices for french and spanish on top

That's not right, we have the moos (Alces alces). Not the red deer (Cervus elaphus)

No data from the Vatican..?

1) Everything in California is expensive. 2) The ultra-rich , expensive weddings are going to skew the average up

Those Romans were very careless with their loose change on their travels

sSo, no place where it's Monday-Friday? That's a pity

Blue and yellow are reasonable, the rest seems overly complicated. Edit: Orange, not yellow ^^

Not surprised at all.

South Indians are hairy, didn't need a graph to tell me that, just a mirror... sigh. I'm a woman and I'm hairier than my North Indian father

And yet, men are treated as the default despite being a smaller percent of the population in the majority of countries.

well, that's interesting. must be rare to be blonde

Again USA don't disappoint as being one of the worst, again

Team cat! 🐈

Whoa... What's happening in nort Italy, Poland and around the Balkans? Why is it so bad there?

In regards to Alaska. A lot has to do with isolation: More isolated communities are harder to get police assistance and there are more crimes due to it. Drugs (a big factor), property theft, suicide, assault and murder happen very frequently. In the larger cities there is a lot of gang violence. There are also a lot of systemic socioeconomic disparities especially in indigenous communities.

The islands in Sweden are very very small but numerous. That's why they don't show up on most maps.

Nope, according to 'The Swedish Board of Agriculture', it's poultry meat (when not including sausages, ham and kassler). When you include them (and assuming they are 100% pork meat, pork is #1 by approximately 3,5x compared to fish.

As the North- Koreans say: Can't complain.

I have nothing to do with that!!!

These maps are misleading. They should have shown the point where it was reached and the temperature by zones. As it appears on the map it seems that all of Spain reached 47 degrees when it was in the south of Spain and probably in the northern half the temperatures were. By far lower

Thick Bushes, Thick Bushes of the South - Sorry, that made me giggle

Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache.

Italy considers that the border to France is on top of the Monte Bianco/ Montblanc, but France disagrees

What's up with Canada?

Fabre, Favre, Lefevre, Lefebvre and Faivre are all descended from the same root, the latin word "faber", which meant " craftsman" ... or ...Smith -))) Moreau means " little More" and was used for dark-haired people suspected ( rightly or wrongly) to be of Arab origins ( they did invade in the 9th century). Mostly, for long, common people didn't have a last name, and to tell apart people with the same first name, one used their occupation, physical particularities, or location (Dupuy means " from the hill", same as Delpech). I'm just à bir puzzled with " Wintersheim" , in , I think, Indre. ???

Spain has an exceptionally low birthrate. Lowest in Europe. So all of that is immigration? That doesn't seem right.

Can people from these places confirm?

Is this because of economics, or lack of necessary heating equipment? Me also not knowing how cold it is in some of the southern countries here?

poor choice of color scheme...especially because "1.0" has different colors e.g. in Spain and Czech Republic. Would be easier to interpret if 1.0 was the center of a diverging color scheme

Being married to a Mediterranean, my olive oil consumption is probably higher than the UK average.

Wow! Such individuality and creativity! 🙄

According to this, New York should be pretty safe.
