Cartogram shows gross domestic product

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/cartograms/
This is a cartogram map of the global proportion of national gross domestic product.  These types of maps are fun because they take ordinary things and size them to the attributes proportion, so they look silly.  There is some bias in this map if the land mass is ordinarily very large or very small, that may affect the relative size after scaling for the attributes values.
