This one gave me a good laugh:

I mean, perhaps it's a little unfair to put it in a "Bad Maps Thread", because the information presented is technically correct. But... duh -_- .

Number of COVID cases per 100,000 people in each US state, since the start of the pandemic:

(Source: The Guardian)

The problem with this map is simple: poor choice of scale. 42 of the 50 states are in the highest category ("at least 8,000 per 100k"), and some states (including Rhode Island and the Dakotas) are over 14,000 per 100k.

IMO, a more sensible choice of scale would be as follows: under 3k; 3k-6k; 6k-9k; 9k-12k; over 12k. In fact, I might even future-proof this map, by having "12k-15k" and an "over 15k" categories: there aren't any states that are over 15k right now, but some are not that far off!

Ah yes, I love that subreddit :lol: !

Anyway, here's another one from Railroad Tycoon II. The second scenario of the Classic campaign has a fairly simple objective: build a railroad from New York City to Chicago. Both cities are in the correct location - and, as far as I can tell, all of the others are... but, there's something very wrong with the territorial borders :-/ :

Did the USA annex Ontario or something :wtf: ?!
