Visualizing The Population of Various Countries

The following maps are all the work of reddit user KaleyTheKing. Each block on each map represents 0.1% of the country’s population.

Let’s have a look:

Australia

Italy

UK

Germany

The Netherlands

Japan

Note: “I did something a little differently for this one, I included both the larger metropolitan areas in black, as well as some of their larger constituent cities in the colour of that region. Hope this is a nice compromise solution that people will enjoy.”

Sweden

Mexico

Ethiopia

Note: Alright, here’s the sitch. These posts have been declining in total number of upvotes for a couple days, so I think I’m calling it for now. Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed this project with me and has made their own maps in this style. If anyone wants to keep making those, please, go ahead! I’m gonna stop making them for a bit, maybe I’ll come back later, we’ll see :p

And this maps inspired many other people to create their own versions.
