Cartogram- GDP per capita of the world.

This map represents a cartogram.  The boundaries of a cartogram are exaggerated to show a relationship between the data as to which boundary has more or less of something.  In this cartogram, the world is shown, and the countries with the highest GDP per capita are enlarged, and colored red.  The countries with the least GDP per capita are downsized and colored blue.  As you can see, the United States is greatly exaggerated and takes up more land area than South America, Australia, Japan, and South Korea combined.  This is obviously not true, but gets the point across that the U.S. is a strong economic country.http://ibgeog2009.wikispaces.com/Economic_Interactions
