It’s been too long since I posted a map from StrangeMaps.
This one is from a German perspective. Turkey is ‘workforce source’, Britain is ‘Enigma code hackers’, Czechoslovakia is ‘Prague’, Spain and Greece are ‘Cheap hotels’ and Belgium is ‘waffles’. I like it.

I’ve just found a curiously fascinating blog at wordpress.com which is well worth a browse: http://www.strangemaps.wordpress.com . One of the best maps that I saw was the one below, showing various countries as Chinese provinces by population. Excellent stuff.
There’s some interesting bumf about the populations at the site too.
