    Great visual on how sparsely populated Australia is.

      I like how you can just about make out the shape of Australia’s east and south coastlines.

        I’m not good at geography, but I’m going to pretend that that’s New Zealand and this is revenge for all the times NZ was left off the map.

          But you actually can make out New Zealand!('s North Island.) Auckland is easy to see, and I can just make out Wellington from the preview version. When I look at the full-resolution there are enough dots scattered around to make out the full North Island, plus a couple of the bigger towns on the South Island.

        But not Canada at all. I figured it would be Australia that would be completely invisible, but nope, Canada.

          Not being an island, and having about 90% of the population within 100 km of the US border, really doesn’t do Canada any favours in this illustration.
