Cartogram


A cartogram depicting the Earth and its major cities, graded as to their perceived cultural relevance as decided by the mapmaker. Cities are here represented as either "Alpha" (most relevant), "Beta" (next relevant) or "Gamma" (somewhat relevant) as shown by the size of their corresponding circles (Alpha is largest). Areas of the planet seen as least culturally relevant have been removed from the map through thematic distortion.

Taken from HERE.
