Cartograms


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8280657.stm

A cartogram is a map that represents the geographic size of countries or states depending on the attributes of the geographic area. This distorts the size of the geographic area based on the data being shown. The map I chose distorts the United Kingdom based on population. For that reason London is much larger than its actual size.
