Here's a great example of a series of cartograms produced by a collaboration between the University of Michigan and the University of Sheffield.
The images represent a distorted map of the World where each country's size is redrawn to reflect the relative strength or weakness for a range of global statistics.
For example:
- Alcohol consumption across the World
- HIV prevalence
- House prices

It's a real elegant way of visualizing the numbers!
Thanks to Steve Coomber for sharing.

Draupp and I were discussing these a while back. A slew of these were featured in a wired magazine I was reading on a plane a few months ago and outlining natural resourse consuming countries versus exporters of those natural resourses and relative carbon footprints. Great visualizations! Great information design.

Correction on the previous post. I believe the magazine was Vanity Fair. It was their "green" issue.
