Well, here we go. The last map of the week on here. The first map that you see on this post refers to the world map with countries marked by GDP per capita. I found no data for the Chinese economy in 1990, thus the gray you see in its place. The map also shows a distinction between the First World, the Second World, and the Third World, particularly by the close of the Cold War.
The second map seen is about the small African nation of Burundi. This uses the Mercator projection and plots the population distribution throughout (using dot density). They tend to be clustered around the areas in the north, even when there are rivers and agricultural lands throughout the country (not necessarily commercial, as most Burundians live off subsistence).
Both of these maps were adjusted since the presentation. I really hope that you all enjoy a good summer! Oh, and since today is Cinco de Mayo, I thought I would offer a map of Mexico, relating to potential wind power. A darker shaded region has higher potential for wind power.
