My Maps - Episode 1

+10

MapTime

I made a map for each continent (Except Oceania and Antarctica, Americas are one continent) and the World + US States + Middle East highlighting a different thing. Hope you enjoy!

1. Africa's Life Expectancy

Countries of Africa by life expectancy

Source: Wikipedia (UN data for 2023, life expectancy at birth)

2. European Religions
Data from Wikipedia

Note that Switzerland and UK are labelled as No Religion, because no religion makes up a larger proportion than any individual of the three Christian denominations, but Christianity is still the largest overall

3. Asia: Is the capital the largest city?

Note that the largest city in Palestine is either Jerusalem or Gaza, not the capital of Ramallah, but I do not consider Palestine a country, so I marked it green anyways

Data from Wikipedia

4. Languages in the Americas

Various Creoles are spoken in the Caribbean, but I am naming English for the Lesser Antilles, Jamaica, Bahamas, and British Territories, French for Haiti and French Territories, and Dutch for the Dutch territories

Source is my own knowledge with some fact checking

5. USA Elevation Map

This shows the rank of average elevation among the states, with different colors representing different ranks (51-41, 40-31, 30-21, 20-11, 10-6, 5-1) among highest average elevation

6. Middle Eastern GDP

Here, the green countries have a nominal GDP per capita in the upper 50% of the world's countries, while the red ones have a nominal GDP per capital in the lower 50% of the world's countries. This time, Palestine is going to be separate from Israel in order to rub some salt. Source is wikipedia

7. The Global Building Map

This map divides the countries of the world by how tall their tallest building is. Source is Wikipedia

Probably the fact that, like the UK, there are several major religions that take a certain proportion of the population. If you asked every person the simple question of "Are you religious or not?" the result would probably be 50/50 or near to it.

If you then split up the religious 50% into different followings then the non-religious group will always be a majority.

The note for #3 is completely unnecessary.

Well Palestine is a country, but it's not really a country that actually controls its territory, so in this case it probably shouldn't be counted. Similar to the case with Western Sahara and Morocco

McKenzieFam, in order for a country to be considered a country, it HAS to control its territory. Not only that, but it also has to print its own money which it doesn't.

The map of Paraguay is kind of wrong: in Paraguay, there is mostly spoken, but Aymara and Guaraní are also official indigenous languages. Peru has Quechua, and Bolivia has 31 official indigenous languages :////
