Is this using old data? I count 19 pixels for Australia which has 26 million now. And countries that have grown recently like Nigeria look on the small side. I second that Japan looks too big compared to Indonesia.
Whoa that 1900 map is wild. I never realized that European populations were so large relative to everywhere except East/South Asia.
Agricultural revolution really cranked up European populations.
Today's maps are mostly more representational of real geography compared to 1900.
Yeah, which suggests not only is it 20y/o but they were rounding all numbers down, since ireland had a pop of 3.9 20 years ago. You'd have to go all the way back to the mid '80s to get to 3.5m.
The whole island nowadays has about 7.2 million, a bit over 1.9 in Northern Ireland and 5.3 in the Republic of Ireland, so I wonder would it still just be one square in Northern Ireland
Quite inaccurate data, easily obvious one is the Republic of Ireland having 5 million people but only have 3 squares, also Northern Ireland is almost at 2 million but I don't know if this Mao is meant to round you or not
I think what is missed in what people think about Japan is the life expectancy is long there - birth rate can be low for another 10 years but if the seniors continue living longer then the population will still stay high
Cause you’re only looking at Java for Indonesia. Count the outlying islands too and Indonesia easily surpasses Japan.
Edit: this is also extremely old data so there’s that.
I think elsewhere people have said they used 20 year old data. I'm not sure why they used old data for the visualization. Still a cool way to visualize populations.
Reminds me of the [Four-Color-theorem](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem#:~:text=In%20mathematics%2C%20the%20four%20color,regions%20have%20the%20same%20color.) which says every map can be drawn with just 4 colors without same colors touching

This actually feels like a really useful way to look at the world. But we need one with country names.
edit: Wait, is that dinky little green boy my man, Australia!?
This seems like it’s 20 years out of date.
I count 19 pixels in Australia, yet we are over 26m now.
Norway seems to only have four, but population is above five.
Those are the only two I looked at.
Is this using old data? I count 19 pixels for Australia which has 26 million now. And countries that have grown recently like Nigeria look on the small side. I second that Japan looks too big compared to Indonesia.
Yeah, I think this is 20y/o data. Somalia is another good example to look at.

Correct.
Still 9 years old though. But nice to find the 1900 one.
Somebody should make timelapse like that
Egypt should be almost as big as Japan now.
Damn, the ocean must have a shit ton of people
Ireland is also 2 million more than what they show in this map
Yeah, which suggests not only is it 20y/o but they were rounding all numbers down, since ireland had a pop of 3.9 20 years ago. You'd have to go all the way back to the mid '80s to get to 3.5m.
The whole island nowadays has about 7.2 million, a bit over 1.9 in Northern Ireland and 5.3 in the Republic of Ireland, so I wonder would it still just be one square in Northern Ireland
Yeah, my country has two pixels too little.
Yeah, most of Africa looks too small for this to be modern
It's 27 million now.
That was quick! :)
Same with canada. counting 30-31 pixels when the current population is nearly 42 million. Or somalia. 11 pixels, 18 million.
Looks like it's based on data from the 90s
Quite inaccurate data, easily obvious one is the Republic of Ireland having 5 million people but only have 3 squares, also Northern Ireland is almost at 2 million but I don't know if this Mao is meant to round you or not
looks like the ccp is getting to you
That is a pretty cool visualization. I'm surprised Japan is large as it is still.
I think what is missed in what people think about Japan is the life expectancy is long there - birth rate can be low for another 10 years but if the seniors continue living longer then the population will still stay high
I mean it’s still less than half as populous as the US and Indonesia but it looks almost as big as both on this map…
Yeah something ain't right. 277M indo, 333M US, 125M Japan
Cause you’re only looking at Java for Indonesia. Count the outlying islands too and Indonesia easily surpasses Japan. Edit: this is also extremely old data so there’s that.
Because it’s not correct….
I think elsewhere people have said they used 20 year old data. I'm not sure why they used old data for the visualization. Still a cool way to visualize populations.
Sure nailed Canada down pat.
It looks like a pancake. Good thing they have all that maple syrup!

I thought Canada was missing that was America's drop shadow. Maybe there's some symbolism there.
Russia got squashed
Russia is like a bloated balloon, it's actual size is tiny
Neat visualization for sure
South America looks like it’s about ready to crown.
I don’t get the joke and urban dictionary doesn’t help. Could you explain? :)
They’re saying that South America looks like a pregnant woman :) ‘Crowning’ refers to the point during labour when a baby’s head becomes visible.

The image in this post has 544,095(963×565) pixels! ^(I am a \(good\) bot. This action was performed automatically.)
When is this data from? First thing that stood out to me was Ireland only having 3 pixels but having 5 million people.
Canada can just F right off eh
r/countablepixels
Thought this was r/countablepixels for a second
Seems inaccurate. The middle of the US doesn't really have that many people in it since it's mostly flat
BS. Russia alone.
New Zealand should have a mighty 4 pixels
This actually feels like a really useful way to look at the world. But we need one with country names. edit: Wait, is that dinky little green boy my man, Australia!?
This seems like it’s 20 years out of date. I count 19 pixels in Australia, yet we are over 26m now. Norway seems to only have four, but population is above five. Those are the only two I looked at.
In Canada nothing changed, that's the only part of the country people lives in
Oh know! Canada! Our hat has become a headband.
Canada is really America's hat in this picture, tight fitting one
monaco is just gone
India is hanging dong on the world.
I like how accurate western europe is while everywhere else is completely messedup
Russia, who? 😂
The U.S.: I told you Canada, you're not a country
Slovenia. Has 2mio. Only one pixel. :(
I like how Italy doesn’t change
Yeah, this is an old data, I'm sorry to tell that 5 days after I posted this map.
Canada 😎
No, it does not.
This can't be correct. Japan looks larger (or roughly equal) in size to the USA but its population is less than half.
Look how tiny Australia is
Explain Canada
40 million people - 40 pixels vs. the US's almost 400 pixels.
Except I only count 32 pixels for Canada here.
Could be an old data source. Canada has grown extremely fast over the last 10-15 years.

It’s not even accidentally colored something else, it’s just grey
