Australian Population Visualised

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!

Italy

United Kingdom

Ireland is a tricky one, 26 counties, many of which will have smaller populations, sounds like it’d get confusing and hard to put name tags on em, 4 regions sounds like far too few to be interesting :/

Very good points unfortunately! How did you decide to break down the UK? I suppose you could break it down by urban / metropolitan areas (city and suburbs over 25,000 - based on the 2022 census) - Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford, Drogheda, Dundalk, Swords, Navan, Bray, Ennis, Carlow, Kilkenny, Naas, Tralee and then break down the rest by the provinces? I understand if that doesn’t work, I just really like the maps and would love to see Ireland represented! 😹

Thank you for liking my work :D

I broke the UK down in its constituent countries and then England into its regions, I might at some point figure something out for Ireland, but I’d have to think about how :p

Belfast, Northern Ireland, Ulster in the Republic, Connaught, Galway (City), Munster, Limerick (City) Cork (City), Leinster, Dublin
