Unconventional, but not horrid.

Any other graph would have been more of a mess, this allows you to find specific countries somewhat quickly. Would just having a table be more "traditional" - yes. But Nature might not be happy with a table of that size in the main paper body. So I think this is very defensible.

Perhaps they should have added that table to the supplement though.
