Real World Maps

The above is a map of the world based on wealth - the size of each country is in proportion to its nominal GDP. The larger the GDP the larger the country. The below is a map of the world based on tourist destinations - the more tourists a country receives the larger the country is shown on the map.

Great site. http://www.worldmapper.org/thumbnails/mapindex1-12.html. It shows world maps based on everything from nuclear arms to prisoners to murders to agricultural output.
