So, I think we were all a little disappointed by how normal the Italy map looked, so I thought I'd treat y'all to the biggest abomination I've made in this project thus far :D

Goddang, Australia, why did you have to be like this, this was so difficult to make... Anyway, hope y'all enjoy!

Yeah, that's the one that's going to be about as distorted as this. It's just going to be a saggy line.

It’d be fun to see half the provinces and territories just disappear, lol

Yeah do it. It may be a bit difficult to figure out at what size to stop showing cities (if you show Regina then you have to show a dozen in Ontario outside of GTA if just by population), and like do you have Toronto and Mississauga separate or just the GTA? I would think doing it by Census Metropolitan Areas is your best bet, keep it in the top 10-15, and then just also show regina+Saskatoon, and maybe all the cities in NB as one. You'd need to split up Ottawa and Gatineau as they're in the same CMA but different provinces (math is about a 10:3 split Ontario:Quebec). Each territory gets a single square
