A cartogram is a thematic map that distorts land area or distance to show a scale or relative values. This cartogram shows the population of different countries across the world. India for example with a much larger population that the United States so in this map the land area of India is swollen to double the size of the U.S. Russia, usually giant in comparison to other continents and countries is now barely visible.
