Cartograms

File:Germany-population-cartogram.png

A Cartogram is a type of map that distorts the image to show the information that is being displayed. In this map it shows Germany's states resized according to population. If you were to look at a regular map of Germany it would not look the same because the higher populated smaller states are much larger in this map. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Germany-population-cartogram.png
