This is a cartogram representing the global population, the relative size corresponds with relative population respectfully, by people living within each country. Judging by this map you can see the Japan and China are given more surface area than they actually have in real life. But when taking into consideration that this map is about population size it then make sense the portion size of each of these countries; especialyl in comparison to north and south america. http://www.infovis.net/printMag.php?num=197&lang=2
