Cartogram



Maps which are intentionally warped in order to show a specific aspect of what they are depicting are cartograms.  This particular map depicts the world in terms of gross domestic product, or how much a countries economy produces.  I found this map interesting because there is such a variation between countries in levels of distortion, therefore finding there is a great variation in the different economies.
