World maps...

[Carl.]

Nice maps of the world shape according to various statistics (over 100 maps).

For example:

Toys exports

Toys Imports

 

[Gen.]

It would make a lot more sense if there was a legend.

The ammount of whatever determines the size of the country on the map. As you can see, Russia/China is the biggest toy exporter and USA is the biggest toy importer.

What the? Reminds me of the last time I was on LSD.

Kinda cool, but not a great way to show actual statistics IMO.

It tells you how to read it right on the site...

That's really neat. I like how the countries are all skewed--it's different from most "import/export" maps. And the U.S. doesn't really export anything except "other" and money in the form of royalties and such. We are the biggest giver of free money.

How about this for a weird-looking one:

Refugee Origin

We are the biggest giver of free money.

I don't understand... royalties are for things such as licensing fees. What are you considering free money?

The first map Carl post
I see a magnified map of HongKong
maybe Hongkong exports lots of toys?

Besides paying our dues we also give tons of support money. Doesn't that count for exports also?

What the....

But it certainly works.

I don't think charity is categorized as an export, usually export refers to trade or sales transactions.
