Cartogram

http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2010/04/15/cartograms/
Cartograms are used to convey information about a nation or state by distorting their true shape and size to fit the third dimension being observed. The world on this map is highly distorted to convey the populations of each nation. Although the size and shapes of the countries are false, it is easy to see that China has the greatest population with India following not too far behind.
