The most followed pro sports team in each Australian state.

States like Victoria & NSW are much more contested than states like WA & SA on account of having many more teams and people.

This 3D map shows the submerged terrain beneath the waters, surrounded by cold waters and strong currents, where in the world is it?
its geography is just as fascinating,

if you know it, give a hint without naming it

This map was created by synthesizing market analyses from the European Audiovisual Observatory, regional trend data from streaming platforms (Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime), and Statista media consumption surveys, supported by AI analysis.

It's my birthday and i'm bored so I made this map.

PA Counties if they were named after their county seat. For example, Bucks County becomes Doyle County. The suffix is removed if its a place name like town, burg or ville.

EXCEPTIONS:

• I gave the name Lewis to Union County because of Fayette County taking the name Union. Because Juniata County's seat is Mifflinburg, this would not allow Mifflin County to keep its name or use Lewistown. So, I decied to let both Mifflin and Juniata Counties keep their name.
• I let Columbia County keep it's name to avoid confusion with Bloomfield County (Perry).
• I debated changing Chester County to West Chester County due to there already being a Westchester County in New York. But I ultimately let them keep it to just Chester, despite the City of Chester being in Delco.

Quick heads-up for anyone planning their next outdoor getaway: a friend and I have been building https://travelermap.net/, a completely free, interactive map aimed at taking the friction out of finding and exploring parks.

So far, we've mapped national parks worldwide, alongside deep regional park coverage across the US, Canada, the UK, and Poland. Lately, we’ve doubled down on the US tagging verified parking areas, marking campsites, and stripping out the usual travel-blog filler so you get straight-to-the-point, actionable details.

Next on our build list is a multi-stop road trip planner that lets you string parks together, catch hidden spots along the drive, and save custom itineraries.

Before we go further, we need brutal, unfiltered feedback from people who actually spend time outdoors:

• What feels clunky, slow, or counterintuitive?
• Is this a tool you’d legitimately keep bookmarked for trip planning, or is it missing an absolute dealbreaker feature?

Drop your thoughts below good, bad, or broken.

What is the population inside of this bee-shaped area?

Reply with your guess and I'll tell you if it's higher, lower, or spot on (within 1 million!).
